INJURIES

Assigned to G League The Pelicans assigned Lewis to the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Tuesday.
Impact Lewis made four appearances during his recent stint with the NBA club and averaged 4.3 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.3 minutes. Across nine games with the Squadron, he's averaging 16.1 points, 2.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 25.3 minutes. Lewis continues to build back confidence in his game after recovering from a torn ACL.
JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled by Pelicans Lewis was recalled from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Friday.
Impact Lewis was sent to the G League on Monday and saw considerable run with the Squadron, but he'll rejoin the parent club and be available for Friday's game against the Thunder. He logged four points and a rebound in six minutes during his lone appearance with the Pelicans this year.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Makes 2022-23 NBA debut Lewis played six minutes off the bench Tuesday in the Pelicans' 121-100 loss to the Jazz, finishing with four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound.
Impact After tearing his ACL and suffering a Grade 2 MCL sprain to his right knee just over a year ago, Lewis was finally able to make his return to action for the Pelicans. The third-year guard has been healthy for quite some time, as he made seven appearances at the G League level with the Birmingham Squadron before rejoining the Pelicans. Even with Brandon Ingram (toe) out for at least the next week, the Pelicans may not have a rotation spot available for Lewis, who could head back to the G League in the near future for more consistent playing time.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Called up from G League Lewis was recalled from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Friday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Lewis spent just over a week in the G League but will be available for the Pelicans' matchup against the Suns on Friday. He'll provide depth with Jose Alvarado (ribs) questionable.
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to G League Lewis was assigned to the G League Birmingham Squadron on Thursday.
Impact Lewis has yet to take the floor for the Pelicans due to a knee injury and seemed slated to make his first NBA run of the season; however, his debut will have to wait as he spends more time with the Squadron. He should remain a top option for Birmingham for as long as he's there.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled by Pelicans Lewis was recalled from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Monday.
Impact Lewis hasn't yet made his season debut for the Pelicans this year due to a knee injury, but he'll be available for Monday's game against the Thunder after spending some time in the G League. Over 24 appearances with New Orleans last year, he averaged 5.9 points and 2.0 assists in 14.2 minutes per game.

Debuting for G League club Lewis (knee) is scheduled to play for the G League's Birmingham Squadron in the club's game against the Austin Spurs on Thursday, Jennifer Hale of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
Impact Lewis will be taking the court Thursday for his first game action in 11 months, after he missed most of the 2021-22 season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. According to Hale, Lewis has been taking part in 5-on-5 work during practice for about a month, but the Pelicans may want to see him regain conditioning over the course of multiple games in the G League before making him available for his 2022-23 NBA debut. Once he rejoins the Pelicans, Lewis isn't guaranteed to have a regular spot in head coach Willie Green's rotation.

Kira Lewis Jr.'s comeback to continue in Birmingham The New Orleans Pelicans have assigned the guard to the Squadron.
NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • AL.COM
Assigned to G League The Pelicans assigned Lewis (knee) to the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Monday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact The move is a positive sign for Lewis' rehab, especially considering the guard is less than a year removed from the torn ACL he suffered in December of 2021. It's still not clear when Lewis will be available to make his 2022-23 debut, but he seems to be progressing well. He'll resume his rehab with the Pelicans' G League squad as he works his way back to full health.
