EJ Liddell News
New Orleans Pelicans forward EJ Liddell posted a strong shooting night on Sunday despite taking the three-point loss to the 76ers. The Ohio State product finished with 23 points on 7-for-10 shooting while adding one three, two rebounds, two assists, one steal, and shooting 8-for-8 from the charity stripe. Liddell signed a multi-year deal with the team this summer and has a chance to get some rotational minutes if he continues to improve. There's a bit of a logjam at the forward spots on the Pelicans, but they also tend to have injury issues. With that being said, Liddell shouldn't be on fantasy radars just yet.
New Orleans Pelicans forward EJ Liddell was on a two-way contract with the team until he tore his ACL during summer league last year. After a year of rehab, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that the 22-year-old will sign a three-year deal worth $6.2 million with the team. Liddell was a three-year player at Ohio State and averaged 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game during his last year. He'll play his first summer league game since last season on Friday.
New Orleans Pelicans forward EJ Liddell (knee) tore his ACL during Monday's Summer League clash with the Hawks. The injury was originally classified as a sprain. However, after further testing, the news was much worse. The 21-year-old averaged 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, and 2.5 assists throughout 32 games with the Buckeyes last season. While Liddell had plenty of hype entering the 2022 NBA Draft, he is now out indefinitely, although the possibility remains he could miss the entire 2022-23 campaign.
