Pelicans' Dante Cunningham: Out again Wednesday

Cunningham (personal) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Analysis:

Cunningham is awaiting the birth of his child and will miss a second straight contest, providing the 29-year-old with an opportunity to get an early start on the All-Star break. With Terrence Jones (thumb) also ruled out, the Pelicans will be thin at power forward again, which will likely prompt coach Alvin Gentry to deploy Anthony Davis in a starting role at the position while Alexis Ajinca moves into the starting five at center.
