Fresh off of a euphoric win at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the New Orleans Pelicans were given some bittersweet news regarding their guard rotation. One piece of news was bitter, the other was sweet.
Let's start with the bitter news first. Rip off the band-aid real quick.
Sources: #Pelicans starting SG Bryce Dejean-Jones (broken wrist) expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Terrible break for the rookie.

Bryce Dejean-Jones was swiftly becoming one of my favorite players to watch on the team, combining an underrated burst of athleticism with the expected hunger of a player who is fighting to earn his keep in the world of the NBA.
