Murphy and Dejounte are back

Ends at*

Zion Williamson has been ruled out for tonight's game against the Clippers. His consecutive games played streak at 35

Pelicans are 14-6 in games Herb Jones and Saddiq Bey play since December 11

Really really impressive game from Jeremiah Fears, with a great defensive possession against Sensabaugh

Talk about freaky coincidence. Zion had appeared in 35 consecutive games - a career high.

After Daniel Bove leaves, Zion steps on a player's foot and rolls his ankle, taking him out of the rest of the game.

Unbelievable stuff

Zion Williamson turned his ankle and has been ruled out for the night

Fears and Missi have been really good here in the 2nd. Fears decision making really improving

Jordan Poole has had an extremely rough stretch of live ball turnovers and bad shots

X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israel’s Attack on Iran WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

NEW

Within minutes of Trump announcing the launch of Operation Epic Fury, X was flooded with disinformation.

Almost all of the accounts sharing fake videos of the attack on Iran featured blue checkmarks, meaning X is profiting from this.

New Orleans Pelicans Director of Performance and Sports Science Daniel Bove has accepted a position with the Philadelphia Flyers, multiple league sources tell me.

Bove is someone Zion Williamson has routinely credited with his physical improvement and rehab.

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Lu Dort might be worse than Draymond at this point

Rod Walker: Pelicans' interim coach James Borrego doesn't shy away from bold decisions James Borrego doesn’t mind thinking outside the box, no matter how far outside the box his thoughts may take him.

Yeah I like saving him for LA tbh

The Dejounte 4th quarter turnovers to me looked directly correlated to his conditioning. Game legs at elevation not there yet and decision making follows closely

Pelicans were -6 in the Queen minutes and +17 when he was off the court.

Courtsketch has them with a 140 DRTG with Queen on, 113 DRTG with Queen off

14 of the Pels 26 on 5/7 shooting for Saddiq Bey in the 4th quarter tonight.

He just delivers

42 points for Saddiq Bey, who has saved the Pels' butts all throughout the 4th quarter this game and all season.

He's their closer

Yeah probably. They can't bench him outright

Borrego has talked about Saddiq Bey as a settler. Goes to him after a timeout to stem a big Jazz run. Bey delivers. 33 points

Saddiq Bey has 31-5-7 on 10/14

He's just been hilariously good this year

And getting outplayed by both DeAndre Jordan and Kevin Love...

I mean this as gently as possible but it's pretty concerning watching Queen on both ends lately

Dejounte Murray is moving really well on these fast breaks
