Things were exciting for a moment, but now the New Orleans Pelicans have seemingly resigned themselves to their fate for the remainder of the season.
In addition to sitting Jrue Holiday (abdominal strain) and E’Twaun Moore (left quad contusion) and limiting Anthony Davis’ minutes, Alvin Gentry curtailed the minutes of Jahlil Okafor and Cheick Diallo in their previous game against the Bucks.
Gentry on Okafor not playing: We like him enough. We know what we are getting out of him.
