New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (toe) won't be back on Thursday night against the Utah Jazz, marking his ninth straight absence due to left big toe contusion.

Kevin Huerter Ruled Out On Wednesday Night
Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) was ruled out just about 30 minutes before tipoff against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
