The team had practice in the […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are sitting at 33-22 coming out of the NBA All-Star break, tied with the Phoenix Suns for fifth place.

The New Orleans Pelicans are not being shy about their intentions down the stretch. General Manager Trajan Langdon said during Media Day that the playoffs were the goal but this locker room cared how they earn a postseason spot. After two years of suffering through the NBA Play-In Tournament, this team is now aiming for […]

The New Orleans Pelicans won seven of their last eight games going into the NBA All-Star break. That’s the good news. Unfortunately, the injury bug is back again.

The New Orleans Pelicans had all the momentum going into the NBA All-Star break. The squad was 7-1 with a road-heavy schedule and now get to restart the season with three straight home games.

The New Orleans Pelicans flew under the radar during the NBA All-Star break.

Naji Marshall (+21), Jose Alvarado (+17), and Trey Murphy […]

New Orleans is keeping pace in the […]

The procedure was performed by Dr. Brian Cole of Midwest Orthopedics at Rush University. Daniels is expected to make a full recovery from surgery and will be re-evaluated in four weeks to determine […]

Brandon Ingram is on the verge of history going into the NBA All-Star break.

Griffin addressed both with reasoning and logic during Friday’s in-game TV interview. Granted, […]

The New Orleans Pelican biggest bet after the trade deadline is banking on Trey Murphy, who hopes to see a Brinks truck worth of money soon, to turn things around before the NBA Playoffs. Murphy was mired in a career-worst shooting slump going into the All-Star break, but he still has a few months to […]

The New Orleans Pelicans (31-22) have won four of their last five games and are in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race. The team is still not firing on all cylinders, however.

The New Orleans Pelicans bounced back from a three-game losing streak with four consecutive wins going into a road game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

Zion Williamson sank the second of two free throws with 8:17 remaining in the first half of what would end up being a 139-122 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The New Orleans Pelicans are picking up momentum heading into the NBA All-Star break and there is plenty of credit to go around.

The New Orleans Pelicans survived a scare in Hollywood, ending up with a comfortable 117-106 road win over the LA Clippers. They led wire-to-wire but this is a team is a team that has squandered away 16 double-digit leads already and the Clippers sat atop the Western Conference standings for a reason. After Norman Powell […]

For the past few months or so, Dejounte Murray has become the most prominent player involved in trade talks. The Atlanta Hawks have come to the realization that a core of Murray and Trae Young may not lend itself to winning, and as a result, it’s looking likely that Murray will be changing homes with […]

For the first three quarters of the New Orleans Pelicans’ 117-106 win over the red-hot Los Angeles Clippers, Zion Williamson appeared content to defer to his teammates. He had just eight points on 2-8 shooting from the field during that span, leading some to question why he wasn’t being his usual aggressive self when it […]

The New Orleans Pelicans were steamrolling the Los Angeles Clippers in the first half of action. Zion Williamson was getting dimes along while CJ McCollum and Trey Murphy III scored buckets.

Given D’Antoni’s […]
