The outspoken veteran will be forced to do most of his mentoring this season from anything but his uniform.
During the Pelicans and Hawks contest on Friday evening, Adrian Wojnarowski alerted the NBA landscape that Kendrick Perkins is likely to miss around the next 3 months while rehabilitating his right pectoral injury. Perkins was injured on Halloween night in the opening minutes against the Golden State Warriors. He had attempted to prevent Festus Ezeli from having an easy lay-in on THIS PLAY.
In the grand scheme of things, the loss of Perkins should not be detrimental to the team, but it will add to the frustration of the fans and players.
