New Orleans benefited from the return of two starters in Monday’s game at Cleveland, but leading scorer Brandon Ingram remained out of the lineup, missing his fifth consecutive game. Ingram is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s back-to-back in Detroit, due to a right ankle sprain.
In addition, Josh Hart (left knee contusion) is out for the game against the Pistons. Hart is joined by Kira Lewis Jr. (right knee ACL/MCL sprain), Didi Louzada (health and safety protocols) and Zion Williamson (right foot fracture) as New Orleans players listed as out.
On the Detroit side, Jerami Grant is reportedly set to return to game action Tuesday from a thumb injury after being sidelined since Dec.
