03-01-2018, 11:14 AMAndynolaNo timeline announced - however he has been practicing with the team, warming up before games, and is now traveling with the team on the road. All indicators that he will return this season.Quote:

Saw a post several days ago on twitter from MM that said they were targeting the Mavs game, so we may know something soon.

On the radio they said "You will hear a lot more about Solomon hill over the coming games" and that was the bucks game.... nothing since
-
03-01-2018, 01:02 PMmsusousaphoneSo we can rule out the Mavs game?Quote:

03-03-2018, 02:20 PMCreativeOff course. Next update would be in middle off the March and then in April. If We gonna make the playoffs they will announce that he is done for the season. I lost My faith in his comeback.Quote:

Just be patient. He tore his hammy in late August, and the original timetable was he'd be out 6-8 months. We're at the 6 month mark. Sounds like he's still on schedule, especially since he hasn't had any setbacks, is practicing with the team, participating in pre game warm-ups, and is travelling with the team on the road.

I just think most underestimate what it means to be ready to play, truly ready. It's not like coming out and shooting some baskets or running some drills or even doing some scrimmaging. It's playing flat out to the limit of your ability against the best players in the world and then turning around and doing it again two days later. And then again. And again.
To do that your body has to be in amazing condition. Sure you can play through some bumps and bruises and strains. But if you have a structural injury like Hill it's got to heal not just to the point where you feel ok walking around. It's got be able to withstand incredible stresses, repeatedly, without flaring up or giving way. I think that last 5% of recovery often takes a lot more time than people realize. -

Bring Hill back at the end of March if possible. The last 3-4 games look tough. We can survive without him but it sure could help to get him on the court. I’d love for us to get the 3rd 4th seed and get Hill back for the playoffs and give him 6-15 min on the court with this lineup:
Jrue, Moore, Hill, AD, Okafor. That should be our starting lineup.
Second lineup might be Rondo, Jrue, Moore, Niko, AD
THIRD: Rondo, Miller, Moore, Niko, AD
FOURTH: Clark, Jrue, Miller, AD, Diallo
FIFTH: Jrue, Moore, Miller, Niko, AD This is a great lineup because all 5 guys are able to shoot 3s. Moore, Miller and Niko could be deadly and Jrue, AD, Niko all are good at sparking a fast break. Dangerous.

He actually participated in practice and not just shoot around before a game, so that's a start.
He's going to take time to come back from this, it was a complete hamstring tear. Give him time. -

Any update on Hill or Jackson? I hope they can come back before we play those 3 games in a row at home. If they could even give us 10 minutes together would help.

Saw on one of the FSNO Pelicans shows last night (forgot the name) they interviewed Jackson. He said he tried to scrimmage but had a setback with swelling. Then the usual 'whenever it feels right' interview babble. So see ya in July in Vegas.

At this point I'm just assuming he will not be back this season. Between the supposed setback and the pessimistic tone his most recent interview went, and Gentry's talk about the home stretch of the season and how it will be a process to working him back into an established rotation. I think it seems less and less likely
If he does come back it will be incredibly limited and I would not expect him to be performing anywhere to the level he did last year defensively. And since his offense is pretty bad, no real reason to give him minutes over Miller TBH. -
03-14-2018, 06:17 PMMythrol
I thought the last we heard on Hill he might play at some point in the next home stand? Maybe I'm mis remembering.
-
03-14-2018, 06:22 PMAUSSIE_PELICANYeah that's what Gentry said.Quote:

Honestly this does not sound encouraging:
https://www.thebirdwrites.com/2018/3...ddleton-gentryQuote:
Sean Kelley, the host of the Black and Blue report, invited Solomon Hill to be a guest on Monday’s episode, and the New Orleans Pelicans forward had some notable things to say about the recovery process from his torn hamstring injury, specifically a potential return date.
“Solomon, here’s the good news: I don’t think there’s a day that goes by right now that I don’t have Pelicans fans asking me, ‘When’s Solomon Hill coming back?’” questioned Kelley. “The bad news is I don’t really have an exact answer for them yet although I’m encouraged to say it seems close. How close at this point?”
“I couldn’t tell you either,” responded Hill. “It’s a tough thing. When I got injured, you know, how the injury has progressed and it’s kind of like a day-to-day thing. If this was something that I could recover over the summer, full summer, and then get a rhythm in, but we’re in the mix of what, we’ve won like the last ten out of eleven? We’re doing good, we’re doing great. The chemistry is kind of coming along. And I’m just trying to take it day to day.”
“Of course I want to be out there,” continued Hill. “Of course I want to play. But one thing I do know is that playing defense is something that takes a lot of energy — Not just a lot of energy, but your body has to be in a good enough position for you to be successful out there. We’re talking about if I played tonight, probably having to guard Donovan Mitchell. A guy that is really explosive. You look at whoever we’re playing, whether it’d be in the playoffs or whether it’d be at the end of this stretch, {it’s} all dynamic players. The West is very competitive so I just want to make sure everybody, even the staff, we all want to make sure that not only I can go out there and be okay but also that I can help the team as well.”
Solomon Hill went on to mention that he’s been doing two-a-days, trying to do whatever it takes to get back onto the court. However, he alluded to the challenge before him: returning to a New Orleans Pelicans team that has been leading the league in pace. Although he currently trusts his hamstring, he’s fully aware of the fact that the strength isn’t back to normal in his left leg.
“I trust it to where I don’t think about it,” said Hill. “Now, the strength, there’s a big difference between the left and right leg, of course. The left was my strong leg before the injury so I definitely got some ground to cover. I don’t think I’ll be 100% for another, I mean, maybe next season.”

I didn't take it as discouraging at all.
He's doing two a days currently. It sounds like he could play now but they don't want to mess with chemistry and he still isn't in game shape. I understand that. He wants to play only when he can be effective and our pace is so high that it's hard for him to keep up for long periods of time. -
03-15-2018, 03:41 AMN.O.BroncoAnd it seems he is not sure when that will be, despite recent reports that moment was imminent.Quote:

To me, if he's doing two a days, mixing him into game action for 5-8 min makes a lot of sense now no matter how well we're playing. Do we think the playoffs are a better time to test him out?
I think at this point I would be shocked if he's back. I don't think he's had a set back, I just think this last 10% of his recovery aren't going to have him competition ready until it's too late to realistically work him into the rotation

Neither he or Jackson are doing anything this season. So annoying.
-
03-15-2018, 12:32 PMkinglio21093No faith in the medical staff here. Jackson was supposed to be ready by December, and Hill was supposed to be ready by January-early February. It's getting ridiculous.Quote:

I know the biggest smoking gun was Keenan Lewis realizing he still had a damn staple or surgical piece of metal in his knee and that's why it kept swelling so bad and probably ended his career.Quote:

Solomon Hill might make his season debut tomorrow in limited minutes per Alvin Gentry.
— Scott Kushner (@ScottDKushner) March 17, 2018
:happy2:
Alvin Gentry also confirmed Frank Jackson will not play this season. He’s been out since injuring his foot prior to getting drafted.
— Scott Kushner (@ScottDKushner) March 17, 2018
For months, the #Pelicans indicated he was getting close to returning but Gentry said there was no setback.

03-17-2018, 04:47 PMMythrol
It makes total sense for Jackson to not play this year. Too late to join G League and he won't get any minutes with our current rotation making a playoff push. Better to just let everything heal completely and start up in summer.
Glad to hear about Hill. He needs to start to get worked into the rotation. We need his size. -
03-17-2018, 06:38 PMEman5805
Great t something to look forward to with summer league at least, besides...do we have a 2nd rounder or two this year?

Solo is playing tonight!
Love being wrong sometimes!! -
03-18-2018, 04:14 PMwnelson
After the last three games the nba has obviously decided the Pelicans are not to win Solo or not. Really have you seen the horrendous Charlotte game? The Spurs game was an abortion and last night makes me wonder what Adam silver knows about obvious and blatant favoritism. We are not in their club.
