Kira Lewis’ 2021-22 season likely came to shattering conclusion after being forced to leave last night’s game against the Denver Nuggets with a knee injury, per a New Orleans Pelicans press release.
The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that guard Kira Lewis Jr. will be out indefinitely after suffering a torn ACL and a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee. An MRI done last night at Ochsner Health confirmed the injury, which occurred during the second quarter of last night’s game against the Denver Nuggets. A date for surgery has not yet been determined.
