Jamal Cain Out for Pelicans Due to Illness
Jamal Cain will not play for the New Orleans Pelicans as he is dealing with an illness. The team announced that he is out, and there are no previous injury notes for him.
What It Means
This means Jamal Cain will miss some time on the court. His season stats show he averages 4.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game. He has a shooting percentage of 45.5% from the field and 32.1% from three-point range.
The Pelicans have other options at small forward like Brandon Ingram and Trey Murphy III. Ingram scores 22.2 points per game while Murphy III adds another 20.7 points per game. Their presence might lessen the impact of Cain’s absence on the team.
