Comment: In late August, Solomon Hill tore his left hamstring in a workout in his hometown of Los Angeles, and was diagnosed to miss 6-8 months. The sixth month is coming up in about a week so Hill will be in that frame to return, but he's not rushing back to prevent another setback. "Once I can get that strength in the left, I’ll be able to slide, I’ll be able to close out, be able to do those things and trust it. You don’t want to go out there having a big disparity between the right and left and take the wrong step that could be a setback,” Hill told SB Nation. Last season, Hill averaged 7 points and 4 rebounds off the bench for the Pelicans.
