Jeremiah Fears News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Remains stuck in reserve role Fears closed Wednesday's 141-137 overtime loss to the Bucks with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 20 minutes.

Impact Given the Pelicans' placement near the bottom of the standings, it's curious to see the team continue to dial back the rookie first-rounder's workload. This trend appears to have gone hand-in-hand with the recent return of Herbert Jones, who has since replaced Fears in the starting lineup. Fears is averaging 9.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 18.7 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Sees 18 minutes in loss Fears posted seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact The Pelicans are rolling with a non-traditional lineup these days, as they are starting Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones together in the backcourt. Fears' fantasy arrow is pointing down, but if the Pelicans make some moves at the trade deadline, more minutes could open up for the rookie.

Won't start Friday Fears is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Fears will slide to the bench Friday with Herbert Jones (ankle) returning to the starting lineup. It marks the first time since the season's opening two games that the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft will come off the bench. In his two previous reserve appearances, Fears averaged 15.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.5 minutes per contest.

Decent showing Wednesday Fears had 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to Detroit.

Impact With Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Jose Alvarado (oblique) both still on the shelf, Fears is settling in as New Orleans' top point guard during his rookie season while Jordan Poole's role fluctuates as well. Fears has averaged 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.4 minutes per contest across 11 games this month.
