Impact Griffin, who was expected to compete for a spot on the regular-season roster during training camp, will likely miss an extended period due to the knee injury. A No. 37 overall pick in the 2025 Draft, the UConn product averaged 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds across 11.1 minutes per game in 16 appearances (one start) during her final collegiate season.

Brandon Boston Jr. - Undergoes ankle surgery The Pelicans announced Monday that Boston recently underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle.
Impact Boston missed the final 30 games of the regular season with his nagging ankle issue. He's now looking at a timetable of 3-4 months, though he has plenty of time to recover in time for Opening Night of 2025-26. During his first season with New Orleans, Boston averaged 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 23.6 minutes per game across 42 outings (10 starts).

Kelly Olynyk - Undergoes heel surgery The Pelicans announced Monday that Olynyk recently underwent a minimally invasive surgery on his left heel and ultrasound-guided tendon debridement.
Impact Olynyk missed the final three games of the regular season with what was described as left Achilles tendinitis, so this surgery was likely to address that. Olynyk faces a recovery timetable of 3-4 months, so his status for Opening Night in 2025-26 shouldn't be in doubt. Olynyk, who is entering the final year of his contract, averaged 10.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game in his 20 appearances with the Pelicans after he was acquired via trade with Toronto.
