Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Deemed questionable for Friday
Jordan Hawkins (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.Hawkins has missed the New Orleans 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.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Back on court
Jordan Hawkins (back) is back on the court but not doing any contact yet, so his return date remains uncertain, Jim Eichenhofer of the New Orleans 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).

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Out at least one week
The New Orleans Pelicans announced Friday that Jordan 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.
