New Orleans managed to prevail Tuesday without multiple starters, rallying from a 23-point deficit to beat Cleveland. The Pelicans would love to have two of their first-stringers back in uniform Saturday when they face another quality Eastern Conference foe at Milwaukee, but will have to wait to find out if both Josh Hart and Brandon Ingram can play in Fiserv Forum. Both participated in Friday’s practice, before the team departed on a flight to Wisconsin.
On Friday’s official injury update, Hart (left ankle sprain) is listed as probable, while Ingram (left Achilles soreness) is listed as questionable. The Pelicans will not have starting center Jonas Valanciunas (health and safety protocols).
