Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Deemed questionable for Thursday

Valanciunas is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers due to a non-COVID illness.

Several players on the Pelicans are dealing with non-COVID illnesses ahead of Thursday's matchup, and Valanciunas' status for the game is in question. He's been on a tear recently with double-doubles in each of his last five appearances, but Cody Zeller (ankle) and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl could see an uptick in playing time if Valanciunas is forced to miss his first game of the season.
