The experiment in the Big Easy hasn’t been an easy transition for Anthony Davis and Demarcus Cousins thus far. The Pelicans, who were 2.5 games out of the No. 8 seed at the All-Star break when they made the blockbuster deal, are now 5.5 games out and basically eliminated from postseason contention. That does not [...]

If you thought the New Orleans Pelicans were in danger of losing Anthony Davis’ allegiance, you can rest easy.

Anthony Davis, the Pelicans’ lifeline, sat out the second half with [...]

Jimmer Fredette is getting another shot to stick in the NBA. We think. The New Orleans Pelicans have been overrun with injuries to start the season.
