Cunningham was injured in the second quarter of Wednesday’s win over the Timberwolves, New Orleans’ fourth consecutive victory. The Pelicans originally thought their starter had a bruised knee and wouldn’t miss much time, but now Cunningham is the latest of their players to be sidelined.

The Pelicans (6-10) are waiting on Quincy Pondexter (knee), Alexis Ajinca (shoulder) and Tyreke Evans (knee) to fully recover, but they did get a boost with guard Jrue Holiday returning to the lineup.
Cunningham, 29, is averaging 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 15 games, including 10 starts, this season.
