Ryan Anderson (back) remains without a timetable to return to the court, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. When coach Monty Williams was asked whether or not Anderson would return this season, he said that, "I'm not going to speculate on that; I just think it's too early to say anything about that."

Analysis:

Anderson's status should be concerning for his owners who have benefited from his solid production all season. The Pelicans haven't disclosed much information on how long Anderson will be sidelined, but it appears that he'll miss substantial time with the possibility that he may not return to the court again this season. Williams did say that Anderson was feeling better, so owners will have to play the waiting game while the Pelicans deal with the big man's spine injury.
