Quincy Pondexter

No games played in 2016-17

Pondexter has only appeared in 45 games (all in 2014-15) with the New Orleans Pelicans since being traded midseason from Memphis. This season, Pondexter spent the entire year out of the lineup due to complications with the same left knee that has kept him off the floor since the end of the 2014-15 season.

After three major surgeries to the same knee, one has to wonder how the effects will impact Pondexter’s game.

According to Dell Demps, the Pelicans still have plans for a healthy Quincy Poindexter next season. He’s a proven veteran at the guard position who can shoot the three and defend. And if they are able to get him back next year, it’ll be like signing a free agent.
