The New Orleans Pelicans got a huge update on Derik Queen's return that softens the blow of losing Kevon Looney.
With Kevon Looney being sidelined for a minimum of 2-3 weeks with a knee injury he suffered during the New Orleans Pelicans time in Australia, the team is extremely thin at the five spot. Thankfully it was announced on Saturday by Pelicans that Derik Queen has been cleared to resume full basketball activities. Queen had been out since July 18th with a wrist injury but now may be ready to join the Pelicans through their first five games.
