New Orleans Pelicans guard JJ Redick is expected to be sidelined at least two weeks with a left hamstring strain, the team announced Sunday.
An MRI confirmed the strain for Redick, who sustained the injury during New Orleans’ 116-104 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
The Pelicans said Redick will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Redick is averaging 14.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in his first season with New Orleans after signing a two-year, $26.5 million deal in July. He is shooting a robust 45.2 percent from 3-point range.
The 35-year-old has averaged 13.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 890 career games with the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers and Pelicans.
