When the New Orleans Pelicans tip off against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, they will be without Josh Hart (left ankle sprain) and Brandon Ingram (sore left Achilles). They will, however, welcome back Jonas Valanciunas after a two-game absence.
The bigger talking point from a national perspective, though, might be that nine players are listed out due to COVID health and safety protocols between the two teams.
- Nickeil Alexander-Walker
- Naji Marshall
- Jose Alvarado
- Darius Garland
- Jarrett Allen
- Cedi Osman
- Lamar Stevens
- Dylan Windler
- Ed Davis
Seven will be out with injuries and suspensions.
