Brandon Boston Jr. (left ankle sprain), Bruce Brown (return-to-play reconditioning), and Kelly Olynyk (rest) are part of a group of seven Pelicans who will be unavailable for Thursday’s game against Phoenix, according to Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com.

This will mark the seventh consecutive game missed by Boston, who hasn’t played since February 8.

Veteran players Brown and Olynyk, both acquired from Toronto in the Brandon Ingram trade, are likely being rested during the first half of a back-to-back set for precautionary reasons.

Both players have missed significant time this season due to injuries and are still in recovery.
