New Orleans was already playing without its 2021 All-Star forward to begin this regular season. The Pelicans may be without their 2020 All-Star forward Saturday, when they host the New York Knicks (6 p.m.).
Brandon Ingram was listed as doubtful on this afternoon’s official injury report, due to a right hip contusion. Meanwhile, Josh Hart – who returned to the lineup Sacramento from a four-game injury absence – is probable Saturday with right quadriceps tendinosis. Three New Orleans players are out, a group that includes Daulton Hommes (right fibular stress fracture), Garrett Temple (left ankle sprain) and Zion Williamson (right foot fracture).
