Pelicans' Dante Cunningham: Will miss next 4-6 weeks

Cunningham is expected to miss the next four to six weeks with a non-displaced right proximal fibula fracture, ESPN's Marc Spears reports.

Analysis:

While coach Alvin Gentry suggested after Wednesday's game that Cunningham's injury, which forced him to exit the contest after playing just 12 minutes, wasn't serious, that doesn't appear to be the case as the Pelicans will be without their forward for at least a month. This likely opens the door for Solomon Hill and Buddy Hield to see an increase in play, with Hill likely garnering the starts in the immediate future.
