Another absence of Ball should mean […]

Bruce Brown Unavailable On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Bruce Brown (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Jusuf Nurkic Cleared To Face The Cavs

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (back) will play on Friday versus Cleveland. Mark Williams (left foot, injury management) won't suit up, so Nurkic will likely slide into the starting lineup.
