Donatas Motiejunas, he of just two practices with the New Orleans Pelicans, met with the media afterwards to discuss his long strange trip back to an NBA roster. He’s been working out by himself for the last couple months and hopes to get back into game shape soon. The Pelicans medical staff has cleared him to play and Motiejunas himself said he’s ready whenever the coaching staff thinks he’s ready.
Alvin Gentry, moments afterward, sounds like that time is coming rather soon. Asked if Motiejunas will play Gentry said minutes as soon as tomorrow night are a possibility.
