"New Orleans Hornets starting small forward Peja Stojakovic will be sidelined for a minimum two weeks with a lower abdominal strain, the team announced Wednesday morning.

Stojakovic suffered the injury in the third quarter of Monday's 135-131 victory against the Golden State Warriors. The Hornets play at Oklahoma City tonight and Julian Wright will start in place of Stojakovic, team spokesman Dennis Rogers said.

Stojakovic will miss the next nine games and could possibly return for the March 24 game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the New Orleans Arena."
