Josh Hart questionable for Wednesday game vs. Atlanta
Fifth-year NBA veteran Josh Hart figured to be a prominent part of New Orleans’ rotation this season and was in the starting lineup on opening night vs. Philadelphia, but he’s been sidelined since then due to right quadriceps tendinosis. The Pelicans hope to get Hart back in uniform at some point soon, but he’s listed as questionable on Tuesday’s injury report to play Wednesday vs. Atlanta. Meanwhile, Zion Williamson (right foot fracture) remains listed as out, though he is making progress, according to Willie Green.

NBA Superlatives 2021-22: Pelicans center Willy Hernangomez
Now in his second season with New Orleans, center Willy Hernangomez has a unique vantage point on the NBA, having grown up in Spain dreaming of playing in the league. He and his brother Juan – a forward for the Boston Celtics – have faced each other roughly a dozen times since they were drafted in the mid-2010s. The 26-year-old Juan holds “draft bragging rights” over his 27-year-old sibling, having been picked by Denver just outside of the 2016 lottery, after Willy was a second-round choice in 2015.
