Game thread: Pelicans sign Tolliver, James via COVID hardship exception ahead of Thunder matchup

The New Orleans Pelicans will tip off against the Oklahoma City Thunder at 6:00 p.m., but be prepared to hear different voices on the television and radio broadcasts.

Joel Meyers (play-by-play Pelicans announcer for Bally Sports New Orleans) and Todd Graffagnini (play-by-play Pelicans radio announcer) have both tested positive for COVID-19 and will be in health and safety protocols for the foreseeable future.

In reaction to several positive tests on the roster (Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Naji Marshall, Jose Alvarado), the Pelicans signed forwards Anthony Tolliver and Justin James to 10-day contracts via the COVID hardship exception earlier today.
