Pelicans' Josh Oduro: Logs Season-High 31 Minutes
April 13, 2026 - Oduro notched four points (2-2 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.
After spending most of his time with the G League's Birmingham Squadron, Oduro was rewarded with a one-year, two-way contract with the Pelicans in March. He had been waived by New Orleans during training camp last year, so Oduro will likely be fighting for a contract opportunity this fall once again.
Pelicans' Trey Alexander: Puts Up Season-High 16 Points
April 13, 2026 - Alexander recorded 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.
Alexander popped for a season-high 16 points Sunday, showing what he's capable of when given significant minutes. The two-way player signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans last summer and mostly played for the G League's Birmingham Squadron this year, so his next steps for 2026-27 are uncertain at this time.
Pelicans' Hunter Dickinson: Plays Season-High 21 Minutes
April 13, 2026 - Dickinson closed Sunday's 132-126 loss to Minnesota with six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes.
Dickinson spent the vast majority of his time with the G League's Birmingham Squadron in 2025-26, and he's next set for unrestricted free agency this offseason. The Kansas product averaged 2.4 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 8.4 minutes per tilt through five NBA games this season.
