20: Due to Wednesday’s unfortunate series of events and postponement vs. Indiana in the Smoothie King Center, the focus of attention ultimately was on SMG officials, instead of what would’ve likely been the big news of the evening: the elevation of DeAndre Liggins into the New Orleans starting lineup. Liggins, who’s made 20 previous starts over a five-year career, saw his debut as a Pelicans starter delayed by 48 hours; Alvin Gentry confirmed Thursday after practice that he’ll stick with Liggins as a first-stringer in Philadelphia.
