According to the New Orleans Pelicans, Jordan Poole has suffered a quad strain and will be out for at least 7-10 days. He will be re-evaluated after that period to see if the mild injury goes down.

In his first season with his new team, he’s averaging 17.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN, while the New Orleans Pelicans have found some success ever since starting 0-6 on the season, chatter has risen if this is due to Zion Williamson being out or not.

Williamson and the Pelicans have had a very shaky, up-and-down relationship since he was drafted by them. There has always been rumors of New Orleans wanting to trade him away and start fresh. Mainly to get a more reliable, correctly-aligned (mindset wise) player.

With the 25-year-old currently out due to rehabbing from a hamstring strain, the Pelicans have been having internal conversations about moving on from the franchise superstar.

However, it may be more wishful thinking due to not many franchises wanting the injury-prone forward. His current trade value is not very high, in fact, it’s at incredible lows. This even comes with mostly non-guaranteed salary for the next two seasons.

“To be honest, their move might be a win-now trade, not a Zion trade,” a rival executive said. “His trade value isn’t there and they are facing some pressure to win.”

It’s unclear what the Pelicans are asking in return for Williamson, but his name is definitely a name to keep an eye on.

According to multiple reports, the San Antonio Spurs will be without Jeremy Sochan for their season opener against the Dallas Mavericks.

Sochan suffered the sprained left wrist injury during 5-on-5 drills on Wednesday; this is while he is actively recovering from a strain calf.

The 22-year-old is expected to be back by the second or third game of the season.
