The New Orleans Pelicans have suffered another injury setback. This time, Tony Allen will require more time on the shelf after he re-aggravated his left fibula fracture. According to Jen Hale of Fox Sports New Orleans, Allen will miss another two to four weeks.

With yesterday’s announcement of the Pelicans planning to sign the recently waived DeAndre Liggins to a 10-day contract, I had feared it possibly meant more bad news for Allen.
