Pelicans Rookie Aussie, Dyson Daniels injured in preseason game

 Dyson Daniels rolled ankle against San Antonio Spurs preseason

Dyson Daniels rolled his ankle early in the preseason match against the San Antonio Spurs. The New Orleans Pelicans went on to win the game but Daniels was forced to leave the game early after only 20 seconds of court time.

The team has "no updates right now" from Pelicans Coach willie Green after the game. 

Daniels rolled the same ankle in his first summer league game in Las Vegas earlier in the year and was out for the rest of summer league. This new injury could put him out for the rest of Preseason and possible part of the start of the season. 

In his first two preseason games Daniels was averaging, 10.5 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists and 1 block, and was having a strong presence on defence and as a playmaker off the bench. 

Lets hope its a quick recovery and not an ongoing issue with the same ankle being injured. The Pelicans will face the Miami Heat on Wednesday as their preseason preparation continues.
