The Pelicans announced Friday that Hawkins will miss 1-to-2 weeks due to a low back strain, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
The second-year guard was set for a significant uptick in playing time in a depleted backcourt that's already missing Dejounte Murray (hand) and CJ McCollum (adductor), but he'll instead join New Orleans' growing injury list. Hawkins returned to game action off the bench in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland, though he was rusty in his 19 minutes, going 1-for-7 from the field. With Hawkins sidelined, Brandon Boston should continue starting on the wing alongside Brandon Ingram, though he could move to the bench once Trey Murphy (hamstring) returns to action, possibly as soon as Monday's game versus the Nets.
