News: 12 hours agoMcCollum (chest/rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Spin: As expected, McCollum won't be available Saturday after playing Wednesday and Friday due to him not being cleared for air travel until later in the weekend. The previous games this week were his first two games back following a 12-game absence due to a cracked rib and collapsed right lung, and he didn't miss a beat, averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.0 minutes. While McCollum will get the night off Saturday, he's expected to return to action Monday versus the Kings, which is a quarterfinal matchup of the In-Season Tournament.
