Analysis:

This is tough news for Perkins, who was in line for more minutes with an already shallow New Orleans frontcourt. With Omer Asik not yet back, and Perkins out, the Pelicans could potentially play Anthony Davis more at Center, and rely on some more small ball lineups. Alexis Ajinca, and Ryan Anderson could also see more minutes.
