The New Orleans Pelicans just can't seem to catch a break and have their full roster healthy at the same time.

Already missing the services of Tyreke Evans and being forced to waive Lance Stephenson earlier this month because of a groin injury, the team recently announced that Dante Cunningham is expected to miss the next four to six weeks due to a knee injury he suffered during their game on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

This is definitely a huge blow for the Pelicans who have just found their groove lately and are currently on a four-game winning streak with Jrue Holiday back in their lineup.

He may not be averaging eye-popping numbers with his 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in just under 24 minutes a game, but Cunningham has been solid for the team and compliments their star forward, Anthony Davis, well.

Solomon Hill is expected to start in place of Cunningham with newly acquired wingman Anthony Brown also getting an uptick in his minutes while the 29-year-old Villanova product is out.
