Brandon Boston Jr. Will Not Play Friday
32 seconds agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Boston Jr. (ankle) will sit out an eighth consecutive game on Friday against the Phoenix Suns. He is struggling to overcome a left ankle sprain. Boston Jr. has looked promising with the Pelicans this season, and the team appears to have big plans for him. On Wednesday, the Pelicans converted Boston Jr.'s two-way contract into a standard two-year deal. He has averaged 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 steals during his fourth year in the league. With Boston Jr. unavailable, Jordan Hawkins and Bruce Brown have more playing opportunities.
