CJ McCollum took care of some business off the court over the last few days. He’s very pleased to have the opportunity to handle business on the hardwood now.
The nine-year NBA veteran was forced to miss New Orleans weekend home games vs. Charlotte and Houston after he was placed in the league’s health and safety protocols, but he was cleared Tuesday and participated in this morning’s Pelicans shootaround. He’ll play his 13th game in a New Orleans uniform tonight vs. Phoenix (7 p.m., Bally Sports, NBA TV, 100.3 FM).
“It’s good to be back,” McCollum said.
