After a year where the New Orleans Pelicans saw their roster devastated by injuries that caused each of the top six players in the rotation to miss games, the organization clearly was hoping for good injury luck for the coming season. Instead things are already off to a bad start as center Omer Asik has withdrawn from the Turkish National Team roster for the upcoming Eurobasket 2015 Tournament according to Sportando.
Asik had a consultation with doctors and the results weren’t very good. The back spams he suffered are still there, so Asik left the training camp.
