Not much to say other than it's a must win game, regardless of who's going to be on the floor.
Pelicans just got blown out by the Nets, even without all the injured players we need to take care of business.
 
Yes it's a must win. Can't imagine holding Wemby back when he could be getting some rust off before the LA cup game
 
Wemby was seen at practice per jeff McDonald. Not paying for an express news sub to read the article. Hopefully he plays so he’s warmed up for lakers nba cup game
 
Wemby and Castle are in New Orleans with the team and took part in practice today. Hopefully they gon be back monday or against the Lakers the latest.

Clipped from the article:
Wembanyama, who has missed 10 games with a strained left calf, is not expected to play in Monday's game against the Pelicans. He is likewise considered iffy for the team's NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup at the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
McLaughlin, out with a hamstring issue, is also expected to miss at least the game against New Orleans.
Castle, who has been missed nine games with a hip flexor strain, has not yet been ruled out for a return against the Pelicans. The Spurs expected to know more about his status following shootaround Monday morning.
In other injury news, center Luke Kornet -- who missed the loss in Cleveland with an ankle sprain -- is expected to be cleared to play Monday.

So Castle back Monday or Wednesday, and if Silver sends a defective set of refs too L.A. on Wednesday, no Wemby in Las Vegas next weekend. Does that sound about right?

I don't really care about the Cup, tbh. It's just that it would be nice to beat the Lakers.
Don't care because it would mean OKC on the road in the semi-final, meaning we'd probably even out that Lakers L by having an easier regular season game afterwards compared to playing in Oklahoma.

I'm not sure how the scheduling works... but would we just end up with one of PHX/MIA/ORL/NYK/TOR (assuming OKC wins)? I'm not sure I really want to see PHX again until we've had some time with our team at full strength to really start clicking.

Regardless of who we get, it's guaranteed to be an easier game than OKC on the road.
I think it has to be another Western team since those are the floating games, I doubt we can play an Eastern team 3 times.

Booker is injured for at least a week, we'd probably beat the Suns.

I would think PHX as well, but we did play CHI 3 times one year because of the cup
 
Luka returns for the Lakers tonight, while LeBron is currently listed as day-to-day. Looks like Luka wants a tune-up before the Cup game on the 10th.

yeah he's been in Slovenia with his wife giving birth to their 2nd daughter, not injured
 
Hopefully Castle and Korn both play. I know it’s the lowly Pelicans but still need all guys available as much as possible.
 
The Pelicans have played us extremely close both games this season and those were with Wemby. They have a bit of confidence against us clearly, if we bring the wrong mentality anything can happen. If Castle is indeed back tomorrow, I hope he doesn't try to do too much or we could see a big turnover game from him like he was having early season. Keep it simple, find good shots, play hard D.
