Hart (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Hart suffered the injury during the season opener Wednesday, but the X-rays on his quadriceps came back negative, which gave him a chance to play against the Bulls. However, the Pelicans will elect to be cautious and shut him down for at least one game. During his absence, Trey Murphy and Garrett Temple could see increased minutes Friday.
