Pelicans' Hunter Dickinson: Notches 12 points

Dickinson logged 12 points (6-9 FG), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes of Thursday's 132-125 preseason loss to Orlando.

Kevon Looney is expected to miss two to three weeks due to a proximal tibiofibular ligament, potentially opening some minutes up in the frontcourt. Derik Queen is still rehabbing from wrist surgery, so Dickinson has a chance to enter the rotation behind Yves Missi. Dickinson would likely need to outplay Karlo Matkovic for that to happen, however.
