The New Orleans Pelicans finished the 2024-2025 NBA season with a disappointing record of 21-61, placing 14th in the Western Conference, largely due to significant injuries, including to key players like Zion Williamson and Dejounte Murray. Trey Murphy emerged as a standout performer, averaging 21.2 points per game, while Murray, despite a strong per-game performance, struggled with injuries, appearing in only 31 games. As the team looks ahead to the 2025-26 season, questions remain about their ability to compete in the tough Western Conference with a healthier roster.
