New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins will be sidelined one-to-two weeks with a low back strain, the team said Friday.

The second-year player is averaging 16.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in eight games (three starts) this season.


Hawkins, 22, did not take the court in Monday's 118-100 setback to Portland and played a season-low 18:30 in Wednesday's 131-122 loss to Cleveland.

Hawkins averaged 7.8 points in 67 games (10 starts) as a 2023-24 rookie after being selected with the 14th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft out of UConn.
