Pelicans' Mirotic out at least a week with calf strain
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic will be out for at least a week with a right calf strain.
The announcement was made by the Pelicans after a Thursday MRI confirmed the initial diagnosis.
Mirotic, with an average of 16.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, sustained an injury on Wednesday night during the Detroit game. Consequently, he was absent for Thursday night’s game in Oklahoma City.
The Pelicans were already missing their star center, Anthony Davis, who sat out his third consecutive game due to a sprain in his left index finger.
