Greivis Vasquez will train with Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook in the offseason.

All three players share the same agent, but it definitely can't hurt Vasquez's development as he works on his game and becoming a focal point for the Pelicans. Apr 22 - 10:16 AM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez will miss the Hornets' season finale with a right ankle injury.

Vasquez has been dealing with a right ankle injury since the beginning of the year and recently admitted he's less than 100 percent. With the Hornets not making the playoffs, it makes sense to give him the final night off and let him rest and rehab the ankle in the offseason. Brian Roberts will get the start as a strong plug-n-play option in fantasy.

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) returned to action on Sunday with 11 points, three rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes.

He hit just 5-of-16 field goals, didn't attempt any free throws, and didn't get any steals, and he'll be looking for revenge vs. the Mavericks in Wednesday's season finale.

Apr 14 - 8:41 PM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Clippers, and Brian Roberts is expected to start in his place.

Vasquez tweaked his ankle against the Lakers on Tuesday and admitted he should not have played on Wednesday, so his absence Friday should have been expected. As a starter, Roberts is averaging 11.7 points, 10.7 assists, 1.3 steals and a triple over three games this season. Vasquez will attempt to play Sunday vs. Dallas, but his ankle is at "less than 80 percent," according to Monty Williams.

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) confirmed after Wednesday's game that he's not 100 percent healthy.

"I wasn't myself today," he said. "I was struggling out there. I was trying to play through injuries and all that stuff. I have to rehab and all that stuff and hopefully it feels better." Vasquez is expected to be examined by team doctors, and Brian Roberts is looking like a strong add for those owners still playing as Vasquez deals with ankle issues once again.

Apr 11 - 9:04 AM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez didn't look to be 100 percent on Wednesday, playing 25 minutes for four points, one board, two assists, one steal and three turnovers against the Kings.

Monty Williams admitted that he probably shouldn't have played Vasquez with injuries to both of his ankles. He rolled his ankle late in Tuesday's game and he checked out at 10:32 left in the fourth and never returned tonight. While garbage time was definitely a factor, Vasquez wasn't quite as active on offense as he normally is. He'll get Thursday to rest before taking on the Clippers on Friday.

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) will start against the Kings on Wednesday.

He turned his ankle on Tuesday while driving to the basket in transition during the fourth quarter. Vasquez didn't have too much weight put on his ankle as he sprained it, so it seems safe to put him in your lineups, especially since the Kings are leading the NBA in pace since the All-Star break. Brian Roberts can be put back on the wire.

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez posted a tweet late Tuesday night saying that his "ankle is OK, nothing major" after he suffered the injury very late in a loss to the Lakers.

The Hornets are back in action tonight against the Kings in Sacramento, and while it sounds like Vasquez may have avoided a serious injury, we're still uncertain about his status tonight. He clearly rolled the ankle over and the sourced tweet was posted shortly after he suffered the injury. It's quite possible it swelled over night and that he could miss (or be limited in) tonight's game. Hopefully we'll have a fresh update before lineups need to be set, but at this point, our best guess is that he's a game-time decision. If he's out, Brian Roberts will be a strong play.

Apr 10 - 6:23 PM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez turned his right ankle badly on one of the final plays of Tuesday's loss and exited, finishing with 11 points, 11 assists and a 3-pointer on 5-of-14 shooting.

He was driving to the hole when he rolled the ankle and we'd be surprised if he's able to play in his next game. Watch for updates on his injury after he wakes up on Wednesday morning. If he's going to miss time, Brian Roberts (9 points, 3 assists, one 3-pointer) looks like a must-add player.

Apr 10 - 1:50 AM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) had 25 points, two rebounds, nine assists and three steals in his return vs. the Cavaliers, making 10-of-14 field goals with two 3-pointers.

Vasquez almost played Kyrie Irving to a stalemate, and both players looked fine in their return from injury. Greivis is safe to activate in all formats, and his return sends fill-in PG Brian Roberts back to the scrap heap in average leagues.

Mar 31 - 8:54 PM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) will return to the lineup against the Cavs on Sunday.

He missed Friday's game with an ankle sprain and GV might not be restricted much in his return since he "looked good in workouts," according to coach Monty Williams. He is leading the league in total assists and appears to be safe to put back into all lineups. Brian Roberts can go back on the waiver wire.

Mar 31 - 4:53 PM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Heat, and Brian Roberts will start in his place.

Roberts dropped 18 dimes in his last start for Vasquez, who will not play on Friday due to a "recurring" issue with his ankle. Roberts will have his work cut out for him as he takes on Miami in their first game since the winning streak was snapped, but he should be owned in all leagues with Vasquez's ankle injury clearly not going away. As for Vasquez's ankle, he's labeling himself as "day-to-day" and is eyeing a return on Sunday against the Cavs after admitting he shouldn't have played Wednesday. Vasquez also revealed he had a cortisone shot about a week ago.

Mar 29 - 11:18 AM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez returned from his ankle injury on Wednesday and played 28 minutes, but missed both his shots and failed to score.

He finished with just four assists and a steal, and Brian Roberts also played 28 minutes off the bench. Vasquez is still the starter, but it looks like Roberts could have snuck in during his injury and set up a timeshare the rest of the way. Roberts had 10 points, three dimes and two 3-pointers, and is probably a good handcuff for owners who already have Vasquez.

Mar 28 - 1:12 AM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) and Eric Gordon (ankle/knee) are both expected to play on Wednesday after sitting out on Monday.

Gordon remains a shutdown candidate while the return of GV should stop the Brian Roberts train, at least for now. Feel free to put both in your lineup tonight.

Mar 27 - 6:48 PM

Greivis Vasquez - G - Pelicans

Greivis Vasquez (ankle) was able to go through shootaround and is a game-time decision on Wednesday against the Clippers.

Vasquez's participation in shootaround is a good sign he should be able to suit up on Wednesday assuming he doesn't have any setbacks, and that would mean Brian Roberts, who had a career-high 18 assists in a fill-in start on Monday, would head back to the bench.

Depth Charts

All Positions
Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Greivis Vasquez
	2	Brian Roberts
SG	1	Eric Gordon Sidelined A source told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that Eric Gordon trade rumors have "no merit." Gordon is expected to be shopped by the Pelicans as the team looks to get out from under his contract, but right now it appears the team is committed to keeping him. We'd expect that to change as we enter the offseason and more teams begin to get active in shaping their plans for next season, but he'll remain with the Pelicans for now. May 21
	2	Austin Rivers Sidelined Austin Rivers says he would prefer to play point guard next season. Rivers was drafted as a bit of a combo guard and the Hornets used him at shooting guard while Eric Gordon was sidelined. Of course, Rivers had arguably the worst rookie season ever, at least from a shooting point of view. The rookie shot just 37 percent from the field and 32 percent from 3-point range in 61 games. "I played best when I was a one. Moving forward, that's what I'm going to try to do," Rivers said. May 1
	3	Roger Mason Jr.
	4	Terrel Harris
	5	Xavier Henry
SF	1	Al-Farouq Aminu
	2	Lance Thomas
	3	Darius Miller
PF	1	Anthony Davis Sidelined Anthony Davis said his biggest focus for the offseason is to get stronger. Davis' 6'10/220 frame just couldn't handle the NBA's bigger interior players. It also played a role in him missing 18 games (21.9 percent) as a rookie. The fact that Davis was still able to average 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks speaks to his monstrous upside. Still just 20 years old, the Kentucky product has plenty of room for explosive growth. Apr 16
	2	Ryan Anderson
	3	Louis Amundson
C	1	Robin Lopez
	2	Jason Smith Sidelined Jason Smith (shoulder surgery) has one year left on his contract at $2.5 million, but it's only guaranteed for $1 million if he's waived before June 30th. Smith said recently that he's "making progress" in his rehab and it will be interesting to see if the Pelicans keep him on their roster -- $2.5 million isn't unreasonable for a solid backup PF/C, but Smith seems injury-prone after having three major surgeries in the past six years.
