A sprained right ankle will keep Dyson Daniels out of the New Orleans Pelicans matchup against the Atlanta Hawks this Monday evening, and potentially for the rest of the summer league schedule as well.
Jarron Collins will also be without Jose Alvarado, who played heavy minutes in several games with Puerto Rico in FIBA World Cup qualifiers earlier this month.
Couple notes ahead of Pelicans’ summer league game today:
— Andrew Lopez (@_Andrew_Lopez) July 11, 2022
- Jose Alvarado will not play in SL. He played so much w Puerto Rico, team wants to be mindful of that.
- Dyson Daniels also likely out for remainder of SL because of ankle. Nothing serious, just being cautious.
Don’t be dismayed, this is a golden opportunity for others to step up. We know Jared Harper can score the basketball, but can he set up teammates consistently? Will New Orleans choose to run more of the offense through E.J. Liddell, who was accustomed to being the focal point at Ohio State? Or will Dereon Seabron, the combo guard out of N.C. State, grab the reins and attempt to lead units on the floor?
Either way, geaux Pels!
