Wenyen Gabriel will return to action soon, which could help the New Orleans Pelicans.
You don’t have to be a basketball expert to know that the bench has been a big problem for the New Orleans Pelicans this season.
They’ve gotten zilch from anyone not named Josh Hart and the bench has consistently blown leads or allowed the other team to go on big runs.
Stan Van Gundy must be wondering what he can do, as sharpshooter J.J. Redick can’t hit a shot, Nicolo Melli hasn’t hit one since some time in 2019, Jaxson Hayes is still learning (though improving) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker has been erratic, swishing one 3-pointer then air balling the next.
