Jordan Hawkins News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Drops 11 off bench in loss Hawkins chipped in 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and six assists in 25 minutes during Monday's 126-109 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Hawkins saw a season-high in minutes Monday, primarily due to the respective absences of Jordan Poole (quadriceps), Saddiq Bey (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring), and he was able to capitalize on the opportunity, scoring in double-digits for the first time this season. The durations of the aforementioned players' respective absences are unknown, but for the time being, Hawkins will be a part of the rotation until the team gets healthier.

Held to one point Hawkins finished Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns with one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and one rebound across 16 minutes.

Impact Hawkins continues to struggle at the back end of the rotation in New Orleans. Through nine regular-season contests, Hawkins is shooting 26.1 percent from the field and 20.8 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 3.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per contest. He's way too cold to be in utilized in most fantasy formats at the moment.

Records no stats in loss Hawkins racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over seven minutes during Sunday's 137-106 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Hawkins has slowly fallen in the depth chart, as he has seen his second straight contest with less than 10 minutes played despite averaging 16.7 minutes in the first three games of the season. With Jordan Poole being moved to the bench, Hawkins' role has seemingly diminished, and will likely only see the court in the event of injury or blowouts.

Scoreless in loss Hawkins ended Monday's 122-90 loss to Boston with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes.

Impact Despite being the primary backup to Trey Murphy, Hawkins has not been able to produce much during his time on the court. He has not recorded a steal or block in the first three games of the season and is shooting 35.7 percent from the field. Hawkins' next opportunity to bounce back from Monday's scoreless output would be Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Option picked up The Pelicans picked up Hawkins' team option Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact This is the fourth-year option for Hawkins and locks him in through the 2026-27 campaign. Hawkins appeared in 56 regular-season games last season and averaged 10.8 points and 2.8 rebounds across 23.6 minutes per game. He may struggle to match that role with the Pelicans adding Jeremiah Fears to the mix.

Notches 15 points Hawkins produced 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two turnovers across 17 minutes of Thursday's 132-125 preseason loss to Orlando.

Impact Saddiq Bey took the night off for rest, allowing Hawkins to see additional touches off the bench. Jeremiah Fears has been soaking up a ton of usage with the second unit, however, and that could lower Hawkins' ceiling this season.

Scores 14 points in win Hawkins had 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt) and one steal across 20 minutes in Saturday's 127-92 exhibition game win over the Melbourne Phoenix.

Impact Hawkins led the second unit in points and finished as the team's third-leading scorer. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft appeared in just 56 regular-season games (nine starts) last season due largely to back issues, averaging 10.8 points and 2.8 rebounds across 23.6 minutes per game. The 23-year-old is likely to play a meaningful role behind Trey Murphy (foot) this season.

Deemed 100 percent for camp Hawkins (back) said Tuesday that he hasn't had any health issues for the entire summer, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

Impact Hawkins missed the final eight games of the 2024-25 regular season with a nagging back problem, but the guard said he's "1,000 percent" better. The Pelicans will look a lot different in 2025-26, as Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson are all healthy, and the team will be welcoming some new additions in Jordan Poole, Jeremiah Fears and Saddiq Bey. Hawkins is penciled in as the backup shooting guard, but minutes will not be easy to come by.
