Pelicans' Will Magnay: Avoids injury report
Rotowire
The Pelicans don't list Magnay on their injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
With the Erie BayHawks having completed their run at the G League bubble in Orlando, Magnay is back with the Pelicans. Magnay had missed the BayHawks' final few games due to a right leg injury, but his absence from the Pelicans' official report implies he'll be good to go heading into the second half of the NBA season. The two-way rookie has yet to make his NBA debut, as he's typically been a healthy inactive when he's been up with the Pelicans.
