• Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Returning to New Orleans

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Jordan re-signed with the Pelicans on Tuesday, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports. The terms of the agreement are not yet clear, but it figures to be a one-year contract for the veteran's minimum. The 37-year-old center, who's entering his 19th season in the NBA, offers the Pelicans leadership and a veteran presence for their young big men like Derik Queen, Yves Missi and Karlo Matkovic. Jordan made 16 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 for New Orleans, averaging 4.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 16.6 minutes per game.

  Jordan won't start Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Jordan got the starting nod in Thursday's loss to Detroit but will slide to the second unit in favor of Yves Missi on Friday. Jordan recorded six straight DNP-CDs before Thursday's contest, so the veteran big man isn't guaranteed to see the court Friday.

  Jordan isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports. Jordan will revert back to the bench with Zion Williamson returning to the hardwood Tuesday evening. Jordan struggled to see much playing time even when in the starting five, so he's unlikely to have much upside in Los Angeles.

• Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Sticks in starting lineup

  03/01/2026 • By RotoWire

  Jordan contributed three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 victory over the Jazz. Jordan was given the starting nod for the fourth straight game, although his playing time tells a different story. Despite starting, he has logged no more than 13 minutes in each of the past two games, an indication that he could slide back out of the rotation, especially with Yves Missi returning from a calf strain. Even if Jordan can remain a nightly part of the rotation, his days of being a viable fantasy asset are now well behind him.
