Anderson (sports hernia) is likely done for the season, John Reid of the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

With the Pelicans nearing the end of their season and Anderson getting a doctor's recommendation to undergo surgery, Reid's report that the stretch four could be done for the season was somewhat expected. Anderson is due to miss at least Friday's game, and with three games on the docket following the Pelicans' game against the Lakers, the team may opt to just shut him down rather than risk further injury in a game with no playoff implications.
