New Orleans Pelicans backup point guard Norris Cole joined centers Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca on the injury list with a high ankle sprain, team officials said before Monday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bulls.

Cole could be sidelined for up to six weeks and miss the start of the regular season. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters Monday said Cole was hurt during practice when a player inadvertently stepped on his ankle.
