Have you learned to never be surprised by the annual news of a New Orleans Pelicans player destined to miss the start of a new regular season yet?
Well, hurry up and catch on!
Solomon Hill is the latest player to join the ranks of those missing in action on opening day, and there’s a decent chance he could miss the entire 2017-18 season because of a torn hamstring. Alvin Gentry has already sounded the alarm so you can be sure Dell Demps and the rest of the front office is currently turning over every rock around the league in search of a suitable stand-in or two.
