• Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Handles modest role in return

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Hawkins (spine) recorded five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 17 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 133-113 loss to the Rockets. Hawkins suited up for the first time since Nov. 27, after he had missed the last eight games with a lumbar spine annular fissure.
