The New Orleans Pelicans begin 2022 with a contest against the Milwaukee Bucks, and not surprisingly, important members will be out for both teams.
Brandon Ingram, who was questionable to play with left Achilles soreness, will join Jonas Valanciunas (health and safety protocols) and Zion Williamson (right foot surgery) on the sidelines for Willie Green’s squad.
Josh Hart (left ankle sprain) is a go, however, and finds himself in the starting lineup.
The Bucks will be without Khris Middleton (personal reasons), Donte DiVincenzo (left ankle sprain), Brook Lopez (back surgery) and Semi Ojeleye (health and safety protocols).
