Derik Queen
Pelicans
Injury
Derik Queen is poised to make his debut for the New Orleans Pelicans as he is not listed on the injury report for the game against the Grizzlies. Having recovered from wrist surgery in July, Queen’s return is timely for the team, which is dealing with the injuries of Kevon Looney and the doubtful status of Karlo Matković. Queen is expected to back up Yves Missi, adding depth to the Pelicans’ roster.
