Seven members of the New Orleans Pelicans basketball team won’t be participating in Thursday’s game against Phoenix, according to the latest injury report.
The sidelined players are listed as Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, Steven Adams, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, James Johnson, and Didi Louzada. Each player is struggling with different injury issues including sprained ankles and concussions, as detailed in the report.
Lonzo Ball has sat out the last three games due to a right hip flexor strain. Similarly, Josh Hart remains on the injury list with a right thumb sprain, which has kept him out of the past few games. Brandon Ingram is dealing with a toe sprain, while Steven Adams has been experiencing concussion symptoms.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker and James Johnson, both in the reserve list, are suffering from a high ankle sprain and a strained right adductor respectively. Recently signed rookie, Didi Louzada, is listed as inactive because of his ongoing process with the NBA’s Health and Safety protocols.
This report of seven players out for the game is a concerning blow to the already struggling New Orleans Pelicans, as they continue their chase for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.source
