For a team that looked like they would be one of the most exciting up-and-coming rosters in the NBA a few years back, the New Orleans Pelicans still have not lived up to their potential. The 2024-25 season for the New Orleans Pelicans was primarily defined by their stars' inability to stay on the court. Several key players dealt with injuries, but the most concerning was once again Zion Williamson. Dejounte Murray was acquired in a trade before the season, but his season was cut short after he suffered a torn right Achilles tendon on January 31st, 2025, playing in just 31 games.
