There’s a good chance that the New Orleans Pelicans will be extremely short-handed once again when they tip-off against the Golden State Warriors tonight.
Josh Richardson will not play for personal reasons, so he’ll be sidelined along with Zion Williamson (right hamstring strain), Larry Nance Jr. (left ankle sprain) and Jose Alvarado (right tibial stress reaction).
In addition, Jonas Valanciunas, who sat out Wednesday’s victory against the Portland Trail Blazers, is listed as doubtful with a left calf contusion on the latest injury report.
Injuries have put a damper on a season that began on such a positive note.
