Babbitt is dealing with a left shin contusion and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.

Analysis:

Babbitt hasn't been a regular member of the Pelicans rotation for much of the season, but with injuries mounting for the squad, he's been able to get some light playing time of late, as he's averaging eight minutes while appearing in seven of the last 11 games. With Eric Gordon (finger) now likely to miss the remainder of the season, Babbitt should become more of a mainstay for the Pelicans down the stretch, so his potential absence Monday could loom larger than normal. Look for a formal update on his status closer to Monday's tip off.
