Pelicans shootaround update presented by HUB International: New Orleans preparing for first of four remaining back-to-backs

Among New Orleans’ remaining 22 games, roughly one-third of them are part of a back-to-back, as the Pelicans will still play four more, beginning with a Tuesday/Wednesday set vs. Minnesota and at Dallas. Things could change dramatically in the standings by then, but one of the back-to-backs is shaping up to be particularly significant, a weekend March 21-22 set of games for New Orleans (26-34) at Memphis (30-31), followed by home vs. Sacramento (26-34). The Pelicans have not officially announced whether rookie Zion Williamson will play in both halves of upcoming back-to-backs, but the forward participated in Tuesday’s shootaround at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center.
