New Orleans Pelicans team news & key performers
Injuries have been a major stumbling block for the Pelicans, who sit at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Key players like Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, Herbert Jones, and Dejounte Murray have missed significant time. Williamson remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, and there's no clear timeline for his return. While McCollum and Murray recently rejoined the lineup, the Pelicans have dropped five straight games and 11 of their last 12.
