Pelicans' Alexis Ajinca: Probable Friday

Ajinca is considered probable for Friday's matchup with the Trail Blazers due to a left shoulder injury.

Analysis:

Details regarding the injury are unclear at this point, but the fact that Ajinca is deemed probable is an indication that it's likely nothing serious. The bigger concern for the Pelicans is the status of Anthony Davis, who is listed as questionable after sitting out Wednesday's game with a quad bruise. With Davis out, Ajinca played a season-high 25 minutes, finishing with six points (2-8 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three blocks.
