Zion recorded zero assists tonight. Both he and the staff need to do a better job of getting/putting him in spots where he can facilitate. Especially on nights where the driving into traffic is just producing turnovers

How many times has Zion lost the ball in the paint tonight? 7? 8?

Pelicans small lineup has allowed the Lakers to switch everything defensively, forcing Pelicans to play one on one basketball. Without Dejounte, Zion particularly has struggled getting down hill and there's no advantages being created

Crunch time game for the Pelicans, they will have to out execute LeBron, Luka, and Reeves

It's not common for someone to make the in season processing leap that Jeremiah Fears has. He's improving rapidly at reading the floor

Herb Jones is a menace of a defender. Every game just games 4-5 mind breaking defensive plays

The Pelicans have their full roster available for the first time this season.

They are starting Murray, Murphy, Jones, Bey, Zion

The Pelicans have an open two way spot since the conversion of Bryce McGowens. They have until March 4 to fill it

Murphy and Dejounte are back

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

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

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.

Since Borrego took over, the Pelicans are 13-12 in the 25 games Herb Jones has played. They are 3-20 in the 23 games he did not play

Since Herb Jones returned from injury 1/23 the Pelicans have the 10th best offense in the league and 17th best defense. 14 game sample where they are 8-6

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
