According to the New Orleans Pelicans twitter account, both Anthony Davis and Quincy Pondexter are on track to start the 2016-17 regular season in uniform. Dell Demps informed a number of season ticket holders of the good news at an event at the team’s practice facility in Metairie.
In addition, Demps made mention of Buddy Hield’s work ethic by pointing to the frequency of the rookie’s preferred choice of music he’s heard blaring throughout the facility.
Dell, who's office is next to practice court, joked "Every night Buddy is here, I know he is working in the gym because I hear reggae music"
