New Orleans point guard Jarrett Jack will sit out Monday’s season opener at Phoenix.
Jarrett will serve a one-game suspension for a reckless driving charge during the summer.
Newly acquired Greivis Vasquez will get the start in place of Jack.
The Hornets made a trade for Vasquez last week in a deal that send Quincy Pondexter to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Vasquez averaged 3.6 points and 2.2 assists in 70 games as a rookie last season.
