Satoransky (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Thursday in the Pelicans' 113-89 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Though Satoransky cleared the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Monday, the 30-year-old hasn't played in either of the Pelicans' last two games. With the Pelicans sitting at 16-26 on the season and unlikely to make a deep playoff run should they earn a spot in the play-in tournament, the organization may make player development a greater priority. With that in mind, rookie Jose Alvarado has seemingly supplanted Satoransky in the rotation and looks like he'll continue to hold down a spot on the second unit for the time being.
