Pelicans' Solomon Hill (hamstring) likely out three more games

New Orleans Pelicans forward Solomon Hill "probably won't play" during the team's upcoming three game road trip, according the The Advocate's Scott Kushner.

What It Means:

On the plus side, coach Alvin Gentry noted that Hill has practiced and that his progress is "encouraging." The 26-year-old has been sidelined since undergoing surgery to repair a torn hamstring prior to the season. He could be close to a return, and once he gets his feet under him Darius Miller and E'Twaun Moore could be in danger of losing minutes.

Our models project Hill to average 4 points, 2 rebounds and 9.6 minutes in just four games the remainder of the year.
