Well, that was quick!
The New Orleans Pelicans assigned Frank Jackson to the Texas Legends in hopes that the young ‘rookie’ would see action in about six games over a two week period. After just one week and three games, Jackson has been recalled to the active roster.
It’s not shocking given the circumstances.
The Pelicans struggled mightily to score against the NBA’s best unit in the Boston Celtics and tired legs abounded. The short-handed Celtics trotted out a squad without five key rotation pieces, and yet that was more than enough to keep a Pelicans squad, who were missing three of their own, rather easily at bay.
