Out at least one week
The Pelicans announced Friday that Hawkins will miss 1-to-2 weeks due to a low back strain, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
Analysis
The second-year guard was set for a significant uptick in playing time in a depleted backcourt that's already missing Dejounte Murray (hand) and CJ McCollum (adductor), but he'll instead join New Orleans' growing injury list. Hawkins returned to game action off the bench in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland, though he was rusty in his 19 minutes, going 1-for-7 from the field. With Hawkins sidelined, Brandon Boston should continue starting on the wing alongside Brandon Ingram, though he could move to the bench once Trey Murphy (hamstring) returns to action, possibly as soon as Monday's game versus the Nets.

Won't play against Orlando
Hawkins (back) is out for Friday's game versus the Magic.
Analysis
Hawkins returned to action Wednesday but is now set to miss another contest Friday due to lower back tightness. In his absence, Brandon Boston and Jaylen Nowell are candidates to receive increased playing time. Hawkins' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Brooklyn.

Good to go Wednesday
Hawkins (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Hawkins missed the Pelicans' most recent contest with lower back tightness, but he's been given the green light ahead of Wednesday's tilt. With New Orleans battling several injuries, Hawkins has stepped into a featured role. He's averaging 21.7 points and 3.7 rebounds over 35.7 minutes in his last three appearances (all starts).

Iffy against Cleveland
Hawkins (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis
Hawkins is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday while dealing with lower-back tightness. With CJ McCollum (thigh) already out multiple weeks, Brandon Boston could receive another start if Hawkins is sidelined yet again.
November 5, 2024
Won't play vs. Portland
Hawkins (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
Analysis
Hawkins has been in the Pelicans' starting five in each of the last three games, and over that span he has averaged 21.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 35.7 minutes per game. However, he appears to be dealing with lower-back tightness following Sunday's loss to the Hawks, and he'll sit out Monday for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Javonte Green, Jaylen Nowell and Antonio Reeves should all see increased playing time due to Hawkins being sidelined.

Iffy for Monday
Hawkins is questionable for Monday's game against Portland due to lower back tightness.
Analysis
The Pelicans have yet another injury concern with Hawkins popping up on the report. If Hawkins is unable to play the second leg of this back-to-back set, Brandon Boston and Jamal Cain could both see hefty workloads Monday.

Puts up 19 points in loss
Hawkins racked up 19 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 loss to the Hawks.
Analysis
Hawkins has been dealing with back tightness over the last few days, but the 22-year-old guard continues to play through the injury in what has been a breakout beginning to the season for him. The second-year player out of UConn has scored at least 15 points in five of his last six appearances and is averaging 21.7 points per game in a starting role. Expect him to maintain his role in the first unit for the foreseeable future -- or as long as Dejounte Murray (hand) and CJ McCollum (thigh) remain sidelined.

Available Sunday
Hawkins (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Hawkins is dealing with back tightness, though he will play through it in a depleted Pelicans' backcourt. The 22-year-old is in for an increased role in the starting five with CJ McCollum (thigh), Dejounte Murray (hand), Herbert Jones (shoulder), Trey Murphy (hamstring) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined. Hawkins has averaged 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 32.0 minutes per game through six regular-season outings.

Dealing with back tightness
Hawkins (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis
Hawkins is dealing with lower back tightness, and he is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the regular season. He injured his back during Friday's game against the Pacers, which caused him to visit the locker room a couple times, and he finished that contest with 23 points, four rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes.
