Jordan Hawkins News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Joining first unit Hawkins is a member of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the 76ers.

Impact With Trey Murphy (ankle) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) out of action for the Pelicans on Friday, Hawkins will make his fourth start of the season and his first since Nov. 3. Although Hawkins is shooting just 22.4 percent from the floor over his last eight games, the former first-rounder is averaging 21.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 3.0 threes in 35.6 minutes across three appearances in New Orleans' first unit in 2024-25.

Stays ice-cold in rout Hawkins finished Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Trail Blazers with 10 points (4-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 25 minutes.

Impact Hawkins has cooled down dramatically since a red-hot start to the campaign, as Wednesday signified his first time hitting double digits in scoring since a Dec. 22 loss to Denver. Even so, he shot a woeful 4-for-16 from the field against Portland. The 22-year-old former first-round pick has been ice-cold over his last eight games, shooting 22.4 percent from the floor while posting averages of 6.0 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.3 threes in 16.5 minutes. It's worth noting Trey Murphy (ankle), Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Brandon Boston (leg) are each banged up heading into Friday's tilt against the 76ers, so the Pelicans could be forced to hand Hawkins more minutes in that one despite the sharpshooter's recent woes.

Impact While the contributions in the defensive categories were a nice surprise from Hawkins, the offensive-minded second-year guard wasn't able to deliver much of a scoring punch off the bench in his return from a seven-game absence due to a low back strain. The Pelicans were without six players due to injury Friday, but Hawkins may not see his playing time pick up dramatically during the club's upcoming four-game week, as CJ McCollum (adductor), Yves Missi (shoulder), Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Dejounte Murray (hand) could all be candidates to return to action within the next several days.
