New Orleans is facing one of his former NBA teams Sunday evening on national TV, but Pelicans shooting guard JJ Redick won’t be in action during the ESPN game vs. the Clippers, missing his fourth straight game due to right heel soreness.
The visitors will also be without a veteran backcourt player. Patrick Beverley was listed as out on Saturday’s official Clippers injury report due to right knee soreness.
