Turns back clock in win Jordan amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds and four blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's 126-111 victory over the 76ers.

Impact After not touching an NBA court since Oct 29, Jordan was thrust into the starting lineup Saturday. Not only did he log a season-high 31 minutes, but he rewarded anyone who took a chance on him by gobbling up a game-high 15 rebounds, to go with four blocked shots. While there is almost no chance of this happening again anytime soon, it was nice to see Jordan out there doing what he does best.

Given starting nod Jordan ended with two points (1-1 FG) and five rebounds over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 122-88 loss to Denver.

Impact Jordan was given the starting nod, an indication of how desperate things are in New Orleans at the moment. The Pelicans have lost all four games to begin the season, the last two by significant margins. Despite starting, Jordan was a non-factor during his limited time on the floor. To be clear, he should not be starting for an NBA team, nor should he be on any fantasy rosters.

Starting Wednesday Jordan is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Denver.

Impact Jordon looked decent across 11 minutes in his regular-season debut Monday, but he'll draw a tough matchup against Nikola Jokic on Wednesday, so he's still not the most attractive target despite the starter designation. Joining him in the first unit will be Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson.

Scores seven points in NOP debut Jordan posted seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 11 minutes during Monday's 122-90 loss to Boston.

Impact The 37-year-old big man looked surprisingly spry out there, throwing down a thunderous jam for his first bucket, and he brought some much-needed size to a New Orleans team that was without Zion Williamson (foot) and Kevon Looney (knee). The Pelicans will fly to Denver for their next matchup with the Nuggets on Wednesday, and if Williamson is again sidelined for that one, Jordan should remain in the rotation.

Off injury report for Monday Jordan (recently signed) isn't listed on the Pelicans' injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Jordan signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans on Friday but didn't play in the team's loss to the Spurs. The veteran big man isn't guaranteed to see the floor against Boston, though he could enter the rotation if Yves Missi (ankle) and Karlo Matkovic (back) are ultimately ruled out.

Unlikely to play Friday Head coach Willie Green said Jordan (recently signed) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jordan signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans on Friday and isn't expected to suit up against San Antonio. In the likely event the veteran big man joins Yves Missi (ankle), Kevon Looney (knee) and Karlo Matkovic (back) on the sideline, Derik Queen and Hunter Dickinson are expected to see increased minutes at center.

Signs with Pelicans Jordan signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Pelicans on Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact The Pelicans have had some tough injury luck in the frontcourt, so Jordan is being brought in to bolster the team's rebounding and interior defense. Yves Missi (ankle) and Karl Matkovic (back) are both questionable to play Friday against the Spurs, while Kevon Looney (knee) is sidelined. That means Jordan could be thrown into action right away.

Impact The veteran big man received inconsistent run as Nikola Jokic's backup this season. Jordan appeared in six of the Nuggets' seven games during their first-round series win over the Clippers but made only one appearance during the second round, logging just two minutes. The 36-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though he'll likely provide depth and continue serving as a veteran presence at this stage of his career.

Plays five minutes Jordan recorded one rebound across five minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Impact After sitting out Game 1 for a coach's decision, Jordan was used sparingly in Game 2. The Nuggets are rolling with a tight rotation against the Clippers, and that's unlikely to change with the teams tied at one win apiece.
