EDGE Analysis

The Pelicans have yet to unveil a recovery timetable for Pondexter, who has yet to make his season debut following arthroscopic right knee surgery in May. Coach Alvin Gentry clarified that Pondexter was able to take part in all portions of Tuesday's practice in a limited fashion, according to the New Orleans Advocate's Brett Dawson, suggesting that a return may not be far off for the veteran wing. However, given the long-term nature of his recovery process, it's difficult to bank on Pondexter returning in 2015, but if he continues to practice without incident, an early-January comeback could be in the cards. Once he's healthy, Pondexter could displace Alonzo Gee as the starting small forward, though little more than 20 minutes would likely be granted to him on most occasions.

Pondexter (knee) has officially been ruled out of Monday's game against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Pondexter remains without a timeline for return and it would be somewhat surprising if he returned at any point in December while dealing with a sprained left knee. Until the Pelicans update his status, Alonzo Gee, Dante Cunningham, and Luke Babbitt will continue to see a marginal bump in playing time.

Pondexter (knee) remains without a timetable for a return, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initially projected to return at some point in November after undergoing left knee surgery in May, Pondexter has been progressing very slowly through the rehab process, and it's now looking likely that he could be shelved into the calendar turns to 2016. There's been no indication from the Pelicans that Pondexter is even close to returning to practice, so the team will likely be forced to give more minutes than desired to Alonzo Gee and Dante Cunningham at small forward.

EDGE Analysis

Pondexter underwent knee surgery in May and has been unable to participate in the Pelicans' regular season.

Expect Luke Babbitt and Dante Cunningham to have increased minutes in his absence.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the regular season doesn't begin until late October, it doesn't sound like Pondexter will miss much of it. However, it does appear he'll at least miss a few games to begin the campaign. When healthy, the veteran figures to be a contributing member off the bench again in 2015-16.

Pondexter (knee) is progressing slowly during the rehab process and hasn't yet been cleared for full-scale basketball work, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. "I hope not to miss much time if any time at all," Pondexter said in a SiriusXM Radio interview.

EDGE Analysis

Pondexter underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in early May and had been vocal about his ability to be ready for training camp. His stature in standard leagues was tenuous at best, and he'll have a difficult time cracking the starting lineup if the Pelicans enter the season with a healthy Jrue Holiday (leg).

Pondexter (knee) expects to be healthy by the start of training camp, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Pondexter underwent arthroscopic surgery in May on his left knee. He's recently spent time watching the summer league squad and catching up with assistant coach Darren Erman. The new offense installed by head coach Alvin Gentry will push the pace, and Erman has been going over the defensive coverages with Pondexter.

Pondexter (knee) was traded from the Grizzlies to the Pelicans in January of the 2014-15 season. He received a larger role with the Pelicans, averaging 9.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 0.3 steals in 28 minutes per game through 45 games played with New Orleans. Pondexter enjoyed increased minutes this season after being traded to New Orleans. Thanks to injuries and an opening at the small forward spot, he started 28 out of the 45 games he played as a Pelican. His three-point percentage increased from a dismal 23 percent in Memphis to an astounding 43 percent in New Orleans. His improvement on offense throughout the season was a huge plus for the Pelicans but did not increase his fantasy value enough to be relevant in most standard leagues. He underwent minor knee surgery in May but should be ready for training camp, so there is little chance that this injury keeps him out to begin the 2015-16 season. With a lot of momentum heading into next season, it will be interesting to see what role Pondexter will find under new head coach Alvin Gentry.

Pondexter (knee) underwent successful knee surgery Wednesday, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Pondexter underwent an arthroscopic procedure to address an issue in his left knee. It's the first we've heard of such an issue, but the procedure appears to be relatively minor and shouldn't affect his status for the start of next season. The team is yet to announce a recovery timetable.

Pondexter performed admirably in the Pelicans' Game 1 loss on Saturday, recorded 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, and two steals in 37 minutes. Pondexter shot 46 percent from distance post-All-Star break. The larger surprise stems from his team-high rebounds, assists and steals against the league's best defense. With Tyreke Evans (knee) potentially unavailable moving forward, Pondexter will assume more offensive responsibility.
