Hawkins is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to low back soreness. Hawkins is back on the injury report with a lingering back issue. He has appeared in three straight games since a two-week absence but has been far from sharp, averaging 4.7 points per game while shooting 21.7 percent from the field.
Hawkins (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors. Hawkins, Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum will all be available, but Brandon Ingram (calf) and Trey Murphy (knee) are both out. Hawkins has appeared in two consecutive games since missing seven straight due to a low back strain, but he hasn't been sharp, scoring eight points on 3-for-14 shooting.
Hawkins is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to back spasms. Hawkins has appeared in two straight games since missing seven straight due to a low back strain, but he hasn't been sharp, scoring eight points on 3-for-14 shooting. Brandon Ingram (calf) and Trey Murphy (knee) are also questionable, while Dejounte Murray (hand) is probable.
Hawkins (back) played 20 minutes off the bench and scored six points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding one rebound, one steal and one block in Friday's 112-108 loss to the Warriors. While the contributions in the defensive categories were a nice surprise from Hawkins, the offensive-minded second-year guard wasn't able to deliver much of a scoring punch off the bench in his return from a seven-game absence due to a low back strain. The Pelicans were without six players due to injury Friday, but Hawkins may not see his playing time pick up dramatically during the club's upcoming four-game week, as CJ McCollum (adductor), Yves Missi (shoulder), Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Dejounte Murray (hand) could all be candidates to return to action within the next several days.
Hawkins (back) is listed as available for Friday's game versus the Warriors. After a seven-game absence streak, Hawkins will return to game action for Friday's NBA Cup game. it is unclear if the 22-year-old will operate under a minutes restriction, though he could see significant run with CJ McCollum (adductor), Dejounte Murray (hand) and Jose Alvarado (hamstring) out.
Hawkins (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors. Hawkins has missed the Pelicans' last seven outings due to a low back strain, though he appears to be nearing a return to game action. The second-year guard has returned to practice in a limited fashion, and the club could opt to work him back to playing form slowly. If Hawkins is ruled out, Brandon Boston and Elfrid Payton will likely continue to see an uptick in playing time, especially if Brandon Ingram (ankle) is ruled out.
Hawkins (back) is back on the court but not doing any contact yet, so his return date remains uncertain, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports. The fact that Hawkins is back on the court is an encouraging sign, but the lack of contact in his return to practice suggests he's not ready to return yet. In any case, any positive sign would be welcomed news for a Pelicans backcourt that's also missing key pieces such as CJ McCollum (thigh), Jose Alvarado (hamstring) and Dejounte Murray (hand).
The Pelicans announced Friday that Hawkins will miss 1-to-2 weeks due to a low back strain, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports. The second-year pro was set for a significant uptick in playing time in a depleted backcourt that's already missing Dejounte Murray (hand) and CJ McCollum (thigh). Hawkins returned to game action off the bench in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland, though it's clear he was not ready for a return after shooting 1-for-7 from the field in only 19 minutes. In his absence, Brandon Boston and Jaylen Nowell are candidates to receive increased playing time, though Trey Murphy (hamstring) is nearing a return and would soak up plenty of minutes when back to full speed.
Hawkins (back) is out for Friday's game versus the Magic. Hawkins returned to action Wednesday but is now set to miss another contest Friday due to lower back tightness. In his absence, Brandon Boston and Jaylen Nowell are candidates to receive increased playing time. Hawkins' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Brooklyn.
