It is an age-old question: what is more important, money and fame or health? If Bryce Dejean-Jones (BDJ) has made one mistake this year, it was choosing money over health. He accomplished this by signing a multi-year contract with the notoriously oft-injured New Orleans Pelicans.
After coming off of consecutive 10-day contracts and following a very long and trade deadline dominated All-Star break, the New Orleans Pelicans decided BDJ had performed well enough to offer him a partially guaranteed contract, possibly keeping him in New Orleans through the 2017-18 season.
The following day -- I kid you not -- BDJ broke his right wrist in the Pelicans 121-114 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
