Herb Jones has made some fantastic passes. Love seeing him so aggressive with the dribble too. He’s really in a good rhythm. Not thinking. Just playing.
Shows with fully healthy squad, Jones should get plenty of touches that do not include just sitting in a corner as an outlet. – 8:52 PM

Trey Murphy just dunked his own putback miss. Love to see it. – 8:48 PM

We love a Trey trey 🙌

Am I imagining this, or has this been the loudest first-quarter home crowd of the season for #Pelicans? There is a surprisingly large contingent of Charlotte fans at one end of the arena, maybe that’s helping to agitate the locals – 8:35 PM

Trey Murphy 3-pointers on the fastbreak. Can’t wait until that’s a regular thing. – 8:33 PM

Herbert Jones is definitely putting into practice the idea of #Pelicans needing to attack more and be aggressive without Ingram and McCollum in the lineup. Including dunking on people – 8:22 PM

#Pelicans will need a few guys to do a little more than usual scoring-wise. Not sure if part of that is Jaxson Hayes three-point buckets, but he started NOLA’s offense with one – 8:13 PM

Some perspective on Anthony Edwards having missed a handful of games with a knee injury (and being back now)…
Edwards was drafted 478 days ago, and played 4275 minutes in that time.
Zion Williamson was drafted 994 days ago, and played 2694 minutes in that time. – 6:18 PM

Pelicans officially announced the team has signed Tyrone Wallace to a 10-day contract and released Alize Johnson.
Pelicans could opt to bring Johnson (or another player) in on a hardship 10-day contract in the next couple of days. – 3:34 PM

📅 On this day in 2017, Anthony Davis celebrated his 24th birthday with 46 points and 21 rebounds in a 125-122 win over the Hornets.
Only three players in NBA history have scored more points on their birthday: Shaquille O’Neal (61), Dominique Wilkins (53) and LeBron James (48). pic.twitter.com/eYTEWVT1Hq – 2:01 PM
