Even if it is just the preseason, New Orleans Pelicans basketball is back in our lives! The Chicago Bulls will present the first obstacle as New Orleans has five exhibition games on the slate before the start of the 2018-19 regular season.
The head coaches for both teams have announced ahead of time that the starters will likely be restricted to a 15-20 minute window of game time. For the Pelicans, Jahlil Okafor (Ingrown toenail) will play, but Nikola Mirotic (Achilles Tendinosis), Darius Miller (biceps strain) and Alexis Ajinca (Quad Strain) are out.
