Top Pelicans News

  • Pelicans' Yves Missi: Out with calf strain

    Missi is out for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a strained left calf.

    Missi was sidelined for New Orleans' final outing before the All-Star break with left calf soreness, which has since been downgraded to a strain. Saturday's matchup versus the 76ers marks the second-year big man's next opportunity to play. Karlo Matkovic and Kevon Looney should make up a timeshare for the backup center minutes behind Derik Queen on Friday.

  • Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Out again Friday

    Peavy (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

    Peavy will miss a second straight game while dealing with a right toe sprain. His next chance to take the court will arrive Saturday against Philly.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Doubtful for Friday

    Murphy is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a right shoulder contusion.

    Murphy exited New Orleans' Feb. 11 loss to Miami due to the right shoulder issue and is expected to miss the first outing following the All-Star break. If he's ultimately ruled out, Bryce McGowens and Jeremiah Fears would be candidates for increased roles, while Jordan Hawkins could enter the rotation.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Nearing return to action

    Murray (Achilles) is expected to make his season debut at some point in the next week, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

    After tearing his Achilles in January of last year, Murray is in the final stages of his rehab while fully participating in practice. Although the star guard is closing in on making his first appearance of the 2025-26 campaign, Murray is almost certainly bound for a significant minutes restriction for at least his first several games back on the court. Murray's eventual return is likely to cut into the playing time of Jeremiah Fears at point guard.

  • Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Team-high 25 points in loss

    Williamson posted 25 points (12-19 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Heat.

    Williamson has already played more games than he did all of last year, and he hasn't missed a contest since Dec. 11. It remains to be seen how the 15-41 Pelicans will handle the oft-injured star forward's workload when they return from the All-Star break, but fantasy managers can enjoy Williamson's production in the meantime. Over his last 10 outings, Williamson is averaging 20.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 32.3 minutes per game while shooting 58.9 percent from the field.

  • Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Another productive effort

    Bey ended with 14 points (4-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to Miami.

    Bey continues to enjoy a successful campaign after missing all of the 2024-25 season following ACL surgery. The 26-year-old forward is showing no signs of slowing down, averaging 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 32.7 minutes per contest in his last 11 games while shooting 41.0 percent from deep.

  • Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Settling back into rotation

    McGowens supplied 12 points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Heat.

    After going unused in seven consecutive games, McGowens has re-emerged in the New Orleans rotation and logged at least 21 minutes in three straight outings. He's averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game during that period, and the 2022 second-rounder could remain a factor if the 15-41 Pelicans embrace a full-fledged youth movement down the stretch.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Early exit Wednesday

    Murphy has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Miami due to right shoulder soreness.

    Murphy's night comes to a close early, and he'll finish the contest with 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes. It's unclear exactly how he picked up the injury, but Murphy will have plenty of time to rest and recover over the All-Star break. The Pelicans' next game will come Feb. 20 against the Heat.

  • Pelicans' Yves Missi: Won't play Wednesday

    Missi (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

    Missi was added to the injury report with a sore left calf less than 30 minutes before tipoff, and he'll wind up being unavailable. His absence should mean more opportunities for Karlo Matkovic, while Kevon Looney could crack the rotation. Missi's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break, when the Pelicans begin a back-to-back Feb. 20.

  • Pelicans' Yves Missi: Late addition to injury report

    Missi (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

    Missi was added to the injury report less than 30 minutes before tipoff due to left calf soreness, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. If he's ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic would likely see a bump in minutes behind Derik Queen.

  • Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Ruled out Wednesday

    Peavy (toe) will not play Wednesday against Miami.

    Peavy has been utilized as an emergency depth option off the bench in recent outings, so his absence won't create many waves in fantasy hoops. His next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Questionable for Wednesday

    Peavy is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami due to a right great toe sprain.

    Peavy has seen his playing time decrease significantly of late, averaging 7.2 minutes with one DNP-CD over the Pelicans' last six outings. He's at risk of missing Wednesday's game altogether because of the toe injury, but his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the New Orleans rotation.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Rough shooting continues

    Jones registered eight points (3-11 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over the Kings.

    With Jordan Poole totally phased out of the New Orleans rotation, Jones seems to be locked in as the top shooting guard the rest of the way. Jones still appears to be knocking off some rust after missing extended time with an ankle sprain in January. Over his last nine outings, Jones has averaged 7.6 points, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.5 minutes per game while shooting a poor 24.4 percent from deep.

  • Pelicans' Derik Queen: Continues filling up box score

    Queen notched eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over the Kings.

    With the Pelicans buried in the standings, the rookie first-rounder looks to be cemented as the team's top center from here on out. Queen has been prone to the occasional dud, but he's shown plenty of potential across the board in 2025-26. Over his last eight outings, Queen has averaged 11.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 25.7 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Flirts with double-double

    Matkovic ended Monday's 120-94 win over the Kings with 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

    Despite Monday's strong effort, Matkovic appears to be the No. 3 center choice behind Derik Queen and Yves Missi. Over his last seven contests, Matkovic has averaged 4.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 13.6 minutes per game.
