Officially a right knee injury for EJ Liddell, he will not return #Pelicans

2 knee injuries in the same game is never good, 2 to the same knee is even worse. The Pelicans have not released an official update on Liddell’s future at this time.
Liddell was a star for the Buckeyes in college, but surprised Ohio State fans by dropping to the second round. He was selected 41st overall by the Pelicans.
The 6-foot-7 power forward averaged 14.1 points and just over 6 rebounds per game across his career in Columbus.
