• Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Won't return Saturday

  07/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hawkins has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to a right ankle injury. Hawkins underwent X-rays after sustaining the injury, which came back negative. Still, the Pelicans will refrain from putting the 22-year-old back into its final Summer League contest. Hawkins will finish the game with three points (0-3 FG, 3-4 FT) and a block across 11 minutes. It's unclear if the injury will impact Hawkins' availability for training camp.

• Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Unproductive night in loss

  04/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hawkins finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound over 15 minutes during Monday's 124-111 loss to the Suns. Since the All-Star break, the 21-year-old has averaged 3.7 points and 1.1 rebounds on 28.2 percent from the field. This is a serious decline from before the break, when Hawkins averaged 9.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 20.1 minutes, nearly doubling his recent playing time. The Pelicans are fighting to stay out of the Play-In Tournament and with Jose Alvarado (oblique) anticipated to return soon, Hawkins is not expected to be a viable fantasy option nearing the end of the season.

• Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Can't find it Saturday

  01/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hawkins contributed eight points (2-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 141-117 loss to Milwaukee. Hawkins' streak of games with multiple made threes extended to five following Saturday's loss. While he wasn't at his sharpest, Hawkins has still rained in 52.0 percent of 5.6 threes per game across his last nine contests, amounting to 2.9 made threes per night. Hawkins earning 29 minutes for a healthy Pelicans' rotation Saturday bodes well for his rest-of-season outlook, though his increased playing time was likely due to the blowout nature of the contest.

• Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Back to bench

  01/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hawkins will return to the bench for Monday's game versus Dallas. This is an expected move with the Pelicans getting CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy back in action after they were rested Saturday against the Mavericks. Hawkins filled in admirably Saturday, logging 34 points (11-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes.

• Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Steps up while stars sit

  01/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hawkins produced 34 points (11-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-108 win over the Mavericks. With CJ McCollum (ankle), Brandon Ingram (Achilles), Trey Murphy (knee) and Zion Williamson (rest) all sitting out, Hawkins stepped into the rotation and dazzled while absorbing a team-high 31.5 percent usage rate. The rookie has showcased scoring ability before, hitting the 25-point threshold thrice prior, the most recent of which had come Nov. 25 against Utah. Despite the big scoring outing Saturday, Hawkins remains an unpolished defender, and his shortcomings on that end of the court could result in him dropping back out of the rotation if all of McCollum, Ingram and Murphy are back in action for Monday's rematch with Dallas.
