Naji Marshall Out At Least A Few Weeks
1 year agoAccording to a press release by the team, New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (knee) underwent an MRI after exiting Saturday night's preseason matchup against Atlanta. Although the results could have been worse, Marshall suffered a bone bruise and a hyperextended right knee. He's expected to be reevaluated in a few weeks, so he's likely to miss at least a few games to begin the year. The 25-year-old had his best season in 2022-23, averaging 9.1 points. However, he played better in his 21 starts by logging 14.8 points. Without question, Marshall isn't a consistent fantasy option, especially in category setups, due to his career 28.6% three-point shooting. On the other hand, he deserves a spot for those participating in deep fantasy leagues, considering he's due to receiving more playing time while Trey Murphy III (knee) is sidelined.
