Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Monday that Hawkins (ankle) is cleared for training camp, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
Hawkins picked up a right ankle injury during the final game of Summer League action, but X-rays were negative. That was back in July, so Hawkins being 100 percent ready for camp isn't a huge surprise. Hawkins showed some promise as a rookie, posting averages of 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 67 regular-season games.
