Asik will miss three weeks with a calf strain, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.

Analysis:

With Alexis Ajinca set to miss four-to-six weeks due to a hamstring injury, the Pelicans could be without two of their top centers to start the season. Asik's newest injury is particularly alarming considering he also dealt with a back injury throughout much of the summer, further clouding his availability for the start of the regular season. If Asik and Ajinca are out for any considerable amount of time, Kendrick Perkins and Anthony Davis could see additional time at center until the injured duo returns.
