As the New Orleans Pelicans continue their fight to capture the 8th seed in the Western Conference playoffs, they learned on Sunday the severity of J.J. Redick‘s injury.
Redick was injured during the second quarter of the Pelicans 116-104 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Redick made his way to the locker room with a hamstring injury and never returned.
Moving foward, the team will need to find alternative ways to stretch the floor in his absence, as Redick’s importance to the New Orleans Pelicans cannot be understated.
Yes, his almost 15 points a game are critical and he does have the third best 3-point percentage in the league at 45.
