CJ McCollum on Raptors: I think in terms of what they need or what they\u2019re lacking, something\u2019s gonna happen – I don\u2019t know what.<\/a> There\u2019s rumblings about certain players on the team not being happy and due to tampering, I can\u2019t speak to that but I think they\u2019re gonna move someone.

\nCJ McCollum will be in Salt Lake City for All-Star Weekend. The NBPA president has meetings. He doesn’t know if the trip will serve a dual purpose. If it does, great. If not, well… nola.com\/sports\/pelican\u2026<\/a> – 9:22 AM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nPretty strong half from the Pels other than their defense against Bojan Bogdanovic (18 pts). If they limit Detroit’s fastbreak opportunities, they should maintain control. – 8:10 PM<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Jim Eichenhofer: CJ McCollum on being a DNP (rest) at Dallas two days ago: “I don’t like taking games off, but I needed it.<\/a> I was starting to feel a little rugged, a little tired, and that’s when injuries occur. Obviously my load has shifted a little bit with B.I. and Zion being out.” -via Twitter @Jim_Eichenhofer<\/a> \/ January 10, 2023\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n Jim Eichenhofer: CJ McCollum on one piece of #Pelicans success: “Our bench has been very helpful for us. Their plus-minus has been great.<\/a> That’s a sign of a really good team, when you have the depth that when you have injuries, you can still pull off wins like we have.” -via Twitter @Jim_Eichenhofer<\/a> \/ January 10, 2023\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
