Casspi broke his right thumb during Thursday's loss to the Rockets, Justin Verrier of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury overshadows an otherwise decent debut for the sharp shooter, as he scored 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt) to go along with two rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench. It's a tough break for Casspi and the Pelicans, as he was finally able to put his foot injury behind him, which sidelined him for over a month. Look for more information to come out in the next couple of days, but as of now it seems likely he'll miss around 4-6 weeks.
