For the second straight year, it appears the New Orleans Pelicans will not be able to rely on the team’s most dynamic and experienced guards on a nightly basis to start the regular season. Tyreke Evans is not expected to be ready to return to action as his rehabilitation from right knee surgery has been slow and tedious, and Jrue Holiday has taken a leave of absence to be by his wife Lauren’s side as she battles a brain tumor. Consequently, Alvin Gentry will be forced to turn to Tim Frazier and Langston Galloway in training camp, at least until Dell Demps perhaps adds another face to the mix.
Tim Frazier will bear weight of potential early success for New Orleans Pelicans
