Pelicans’ EJ Liddell has been hitting the gym with Brandon Ingram, others
New Orleans Pelicans rookie EJ Liddell on Wednesday was pictured practicing with several teammates ahead of the start of training camp next month.
Liddell, the 41st pick in the 2022 NBA draft, did not play last season after suffering a torn right ACL in summer league. He managed just two appearances with the Pelicans in Las Vegas before sustaining the injury on July 11, 2022.
The former Ohio State All-American was eventually cleared to play with the Pelicans in summer league this past July. He averaged 12.8 points and three rebounds on 55.2% shooting from the field in four games. He finished off his stay on July 16 with 23 points.

After missing last season, Liddell appears to be set to participate in training camp next month. He has had the opportunity to get some work in with his new teammates, which should help ease the transition ahead of his first healthy year in the league.
The Pelicans open the preseason on Oct. 10 versus Orlando.
