Hawkins (illness) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Hawkins will shake off a questionable tag and is set to return from a two-game absence. He's been very underwhelming this season, posting averages of 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.2 minutes per contest. However, with Zion Williamson (adductor) slated to miss extended time, Hawkins could be more involved offensively moving forward.

Rotowire
Hawkins racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over seven minutes during Sunday's 137-106 loss to the Thunder.
Hawkins has slowly fallen in the depth chart, as he has seen his second straight contest with less than 10 minutes played despite averaging 16.7 minutes in the first three games of the season. With Jordan Poole being moved to the bench, Hawkins' role has seemingly diminished. He will likely only see the court in the event of injury or blowouts.

Hawkins led the second unit in points and finished as the team's third-leading scorer. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft appeared in just 56 regular-season games (nine starts) last season due largely to back issues, averaging 10.8 points and 2.8 rebounds across 23.6 minutes per game. The 23-year-old is likely to play a meaningful role behind Trey Murphy (foot) this season.

Rotowire
Hawkins (back) said Tuesday that he hasn't had any health issues for the entire summer, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
Hawkins missed the final eight games of the 2024-25 regular season with a nagging back problem, but the guard said he's "1,000 percent" better. The Pelicans will look a lot different in 2025-26, as Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson are all healthy, plus the team will be welcoming some new additions in Jordan Poole and Jeremiah Fears. Hawkins is penciled in as the backup shooting guard, but minutes will not be easy to come by.
