Kira Lewis Jr. soon sacrificed by the Pelicans?

Selected just behind Tyrese Haliburton but ahead of Tyrese Maxey, Cole Anthony or Immanuel Quickley, Kira Lewis Jr. was considered one of the best point guards in his Draft class when he left the University of Alabama.

Problem: hampered in particular by a cruciate ligament injury at the end of 2021, the 22-year-old player never managed to win among the Pelicans, in rotation of Lonzo Ball, Eric Bledsoe, Devonte’ Graham then CJ McCollum. What push his franchise to part with it soon?

It is in any case what Hoopshype providesindicating that Kira Lewis Jr. is most likely to leave New Orleans in the near future. Largely to save money and avoid paying the “luxury tax” in 2023/24. It is for this reason that Garrett Temple was recently cut.

Still in his rookie contract, the 13th choice of the 2020 Draft will receive $ 5.7 million next season and will be a “free agent” in the summer of 2024. He remains on an average exercise of 4.6 points, in 9 minutes and 25 games .
