Ajinca is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs with a fractured sternum, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports reports.

Analysis:

Ajinca suffered the fracture during Wednesday's loss against the Rockets. This is a huge development as the Pelicans are without Omer Asik and possibly Dante Cunningham for Thursday's game, which would leave just Ryan Anderson, Anthony Davis, and Kendrick Perkins in the post. As it stands now, Ajinca's timetable is to-be-determined, though it is likely he'll need more than a few games to recover.
