Ajinca (Achilles) will be ready to go for the start of training camp, John Reid of The Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Ajinca was dealing with some minor soreness over the summer that forced him to skip Eurobasket, but it appears the issue won't carry into the regular season. He re-signed with the Pelicans in the offseason on a four-year deal after averaging 6.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 14 minutes last season, and he figures to serve in a similar role off the bench again in 2015-16.
