Impact Hayes was able to tally two points, six rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes before suffering an elbow injury. With him being re-evaluated in two weeks, Hayes is likely to miss at least the first two games of the Pelicans' regular season. Larry Nance is likely in line to receive more minutes as a backup forward in the meantime. Willy Hernangomez could also see more action at backup center.
