Pelicans' Alexis Ajinca: Questionable for Wednesday

Ajinca (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Rockets, Justin Verrier of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Ajinca was considered probable heading into the first game of the Pelicans' China trip on Sunday, but ended up sitting out of that contest. It looks like things could play out similarly again Wednesday, but the Pelicans will reevalute Ajinca prior to the game before making a decision on his status. Ajinca is currently fighting with Omer Asik for the starting job at center, and after Asik posted 14 points and 14 rebounds in Sunday's game, the battle between the two likely tightened up.
