E.J. Liddell, a second-round pick of the New Orleans Pelicans, will be out for a long time because of a torn knee cap.
In the third quarter of the game against the Atlanta Hawks, he went down with a knee injury. In two games in Las Vegas, he had 4.5 points and 4.0 rebound.
He was carried off the court by his teammates after he injured his ankle. The injury was confirmed by an exam in Las Vegas.
He had a first-round grade from many draft experts, including Jonathan Givony, who had him as the 21st overall prospect. In the end, he slid to the pelicans.
He was named to the All-Big Ten first team and the All- Big Ten defensive team first team. He averaged 19.4 points, 7.9 rebound, 2.5 assists and 2.6 blocks per game for Ohio State.
The New Orleans Saints have 15 guaranteed contracts after 14 were carried over from the previous year.
It's possible for the Pelicans to free up a spot for a contract for Liddell or put him in a two-way spot.
