NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Pelicans rookie Derik Queen is likely to miss at least the start of training camp after having surgery Friday to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. Queen was hurt Tuesday while playing in an NBA Summer League game. The Pelicans said he would be evaluated again in approximately 12 weeks, which would be after camps have begun.

The 6-foot-9 Queen was the Big Ten freshman of the year after averaging 16.5 points for Maryland. His buzzer-beater against Colorado State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament sent the Terrapins into the Sweet 16, where they lost to eventual national champion Florida. He was taken with the No. 13 pick in the draft by Atlanta and the Pelicans acquired his rights in a trade. ___ AP NBA: The Associated Press

Pelicans' Derik Queen to miss three months after undergoing surgery in huge injury blow
Pelicans first-round pick Derik Queen will miss at least three months in a tough start to his NBA career. The 13th overall pick in this summer's draft was injured in a summer league game against the Trail Blazers earlier in the week, and he was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his left wrist before undergoing surgery Friday. The team said Queen will be re-evaluated after 12 weeks, but the injury will guarantee that he will miss at least the beginning of training camp. 3 Derik Queen of the New Orleans Pelicans drives against Darius Bazley of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first half of a 2025 NBA Summer League game at the Thomas & Mack Center on July 12, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Pelicans traded up in the draft to take Queen after moving an unprotected 2026 first-rounder to the Hawks. As New Orleans already rosters Zion Williamson, some were left puzzled by the selection, including Ringer founder Bill Simmons, who said after the draft that the pick left him speechless and blacked out. Queen, the 6-foot-10 center out of Maryland, had a drawn-out recruitment process and ultimately chose Maryland as his college basketball home. 3 Queen, while at Maryland, playing against Colorado State.
