Ajinca out another 4-6 months

Will Guillory: #Pelicans announce that Alexis Ajinca underwent surgery on his right patellar tendon on Wednesday. He’ll be out 4-6 months.

Alexis Ajinca: I want to thank the @New Orleans Pelicans community for all of your support this week. It’s been a tough one, but I’ll bounce back soon! I appreciate my teammates and fans having my back. Just know I’ll continue to help my team in whatever way that I can. Can’t wait to be back!

Wild how we were so sure that Ajinca would be the one to return well before Asik with Asik being out the full year and possibly medical retire. They did a switcheroo and surprised us.

Okafor finally traded. Just think, a few months ago we were all debating a potential trade for him as our new Center compliment to Davis...

SMH. What a waste.

AA will be back next season !!

Can we get an injury replacement for Ajinca? Dude didn't play at all this year

We might be able to apply for an injured player exception (we don't qualify for a hardship exception anymore) but the bigger issue is we don't have the roster space or cap room to use it. We already have a couple of traded player exceptions from the Cousins trade last year but odds are we won't use any of them. Especially not until a trade happens where we send out more players for less.
