Pelicans' Moore a late scratch vs. Celtics

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Pelicans guard E'Twaun Moore is dealing with a toe injury and is not expected to play in Monday's outing versus the Boston Celtics.

Analysis:

Moore was a last second scratch for the Pelicans, who decided they didn't want to create any lingering issues with Moore's toe. He'll sit out Monday, but he could be available as soon as Wednesday's game against the Magic. The Pelicans already announced Buddy Hield as a starter, but Hield should see an even larger workload now that Moore has officially been ruled out.
