Kira Lewis Jr. was impressive for the New Orleans Pelicans in his first real action.
The New Orleans Pelicans were hoping to see Kira Lewis Jr. at some point this season and that day came sooner than expected with injuries to Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoe forcing him into action.
The rookie got his first real run of the season against the Los Angeles Clippers, one of the best teams in the NBA.
