Asik (illness) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

The designation comes from the Pelicans' game notes, which aren't always the most reliable source, but in the case of Asik, it seems somewhat safe not to expect him to suit up Friday. He's been ruled out of every game since the All-Star break while battling a bacterial infection and is still working to regain conditioning, so it may be a while before the team clears him to play again.
