Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon will miss his third consecutive game on Saturday when the Pacers take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
Brogdon still has left hamstring soreness:
Malcolm Brogdon won’t play tonight, his third straight absence. He came over early to test it, but wasn’t feeling good.

The Pacers are 21-11 on the season. They are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Indiana lost to the Miami Heat on Friday.
In his first season with the Pacers, Malcolm Brogdon is averaging 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists. He’s shooting 45.2 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc 93.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Pacers star Victor Oladipo, who is still recovering from his knee injury, can’t wait to play with Brogdon when he's cleared to return:
“He’s playing amazing right now,” Oladipo told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype. “First and foremost, he’s doing a great job out there of leading us and preparing us to play before every game. I mean, he’s a great player. Obviously, I was excited for us to get him before the season started and now that we’ve got him, I’m glad he’s here. I’m really looking forward to getting out there and playing alongside him. I think we got a chance to be a special backcourt and do something special this year.”
In need of scoring while Oladipo rehabs his knee, the Pacers acquired Brogdon, T.J. Warren and Jeremy Lamb this past summer.
All three guys have been scoring the ball well for the Pacers thus far.
