Pelicans' Nikola Mirotic (ankle) will not play against the Lakers Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) will not play Friday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Mirotic will miss his fourth straight game with the ankle injury and does not appear close to returning to action. Darius Miller will backup Julius Randle at power forward on Friday with Cheick Diallo possibly earning more minutes in the frontcourt.

Mirotic has averaged 33.0 Fanduel points in 30.0 minutes per game this season.
