The New Orleans Pelicans lost many of their talented players to injury during this roller coaster of a season. It turned what was a promising campaign for the team into a great disappointment all around. It forced the depth of the Pelicans to show; 12 different players started at least 10 games for the team this year.
However, one of the players who didn’t suffer through major injury issues still did not start 10 games. That player? Kendrick Perkins.
Perkins had quite the interesting year for the Pelicans. He was signed to the team for his leadership qualities, including his experience winning an NBA title in 2008 with the Boston Celtics.
