New Orleans’ rotation has changed so much over the first two months of the regular season that only six Pelicans players appeared in both November head-to-head games against the Indiana Pacers. Based on Saturday’s official injury report, that number is assured of decreasing when the interconference clubs meet for a third time Sunday in Indianapolis (4 p.m. Central, GCSEN on TV, WWL on radio).
Javonte Green (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for the weekend matchup against the Pacers, while six players are out, including Jose Alvarado (left hamstring strain), Jordan Hawkins (lumbar spine annular fissure), Brandon Ingram (left ankle sprain), Karlo Matkovic (low back disc protrusion), Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (non-Covid illness) and Zion Williamson (left hamstring strain).
Hawkins and Robinson-Earl are among the six Pelicans who’ve suited up twice vs. Indiana this season…
