02About the team

About New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans (originally the New Orleans Hornets) joined the NBA in 2002 after the Charlotte Hornets relocated south. The franchise produced Chris Paul, who developed into one of the greatest point guards in NBA history during his New Orleans years, and Anthony Davis, the generational big man who led the Pelicans to multiple playoff appearances before departing for Los Angeles. Zion Williamson, the first overall pick in 2019, brought explosive athleticism and national attention back to New Orleans, though injuries have complicated his career arc. Smoothie King Center in the heart of downtown New Orleans holds 17,000 fans in one of the NBA's most culturally rich markets — a city where basketball is part of the musical, culinary, and festive fabric of life. The Pelicans embody the unique spirit of New Orleans: passionate, vibrant, and unlike anywhere else in the NBA.
