The NBA has officially released the 2022-23 regular season schedule and the New Orleans Pelicans know their path to make the playoffs in consecutive years for just the third time in franchise history.
The trio of Chris Paul, David West and Byron Scott last led the organization to such an accomplishment over 14 years ago. That’s probably ancient history for some, but either way, early indications are that these Pelicans are positioned well to finally break that spell.
A roster that plowed through the Play-In tournament to grab the eighth seed last season is locked and loaded with also a healthy Zion Williamson in tow.
