Luke Babbitt (illness) will not play in the Pelicans' regular season finale Wednesday against the Timberwolves

Babbitt (illness) will not play in the Pelicans' regular season finale Wednesday against the Timberwolves, John Reid of the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Babbitt joins a lengthy Pelicans injury list that's bordering on laughable as the season comes to a close. The former Nevada standout has struggled to find a niche, overall, in the NBA, but he's taken on a larger role over the last month, due in large part to the team's aforementioned injuries. In six April contests, Babbitt is averaging 15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 52.6 percent from beyond the arc.
