Jonas Valanciunas Returns To Lineup With A Double-Double
3 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas was back from illness on Tuesday, grabbing a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double in a 108-104 win over Cleveland. His shooting didn't go well, as he finished with a 4-for-11 record from the field, but Valanciunas managed to nail one shot from deep and went 6-for-8 at the foul line. He logged 30 minutes and finished things off with two assists, one block and four turnovers. It's been a great year in New Orleans for Valanciunas, as he's failed to hit double-double numbers only eight times this season. He gets a nasty matchup next against Milwaukee, but Valanciunas performed very well against the defending champions in this season's first meeting, going for 24 points, seven rebounds and two blocks in an overtime win.
