After starting 18 games early in the 2019-20 season for New Orleans, Kenrich Williams has been out of the mix lately due to right lower back soreness, causing him to be sidelined since a Jan. 6 game vs. Utah. Williams will miss his 12th consecutive game Friday, when the Pelicans host the Memphis Grizzlies in a key matchup at 7 p.m. in the Smoothie King Center.

Williams and Darius Miller (right Achilles surgery) are the only names of the New Orleans injury update.
