Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Another absence coming

Bey is out for Friday's game against the Wizards due to a right hip flexor strain.

Sunday's matchup in Orlando marks Bey's next opportunity to conclude what is set to be a five-game absence with the injury. With Herbert Jones (ankle) unlikely to play Friday, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic should have a chance to claim a more sizable role in the New Orleans frontcourt.
