Alexis Ajinca left the New Orleans Pelicans first preseason game with a hamstring injury. Turns out his stay out of action is going to be rather significant as the team announced this morning Ajinca will miss 4-6 weeks due to a hamstring strain. For a Pelican fan base who has been battered with poor injury news for two consecutive seasons this injury, combined with linger issues for Jrue Holiday, is just another rock on the pile.
This summer Ajinca re-signed with the Pelicans to a four year contract which could be worth up to $22 million if incentives are reached.
