GAME LOG
Jeremiah Fears - 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.

Saddiq Bey - Reaches 20-point marker Bey contributed 20 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
Impact With Herbert Jones still out with a sprained ankle, Bey remains locked into significant minutes as the starting small forward. Over his last five appearances, Bey has averaged 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 29.5 minutes per game.
42 MINS AGO โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Jordan Poole - Continues to trend down Poole amassed 11 points (4-17 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Poole continues to struggle to maintain fantasy value with the last-place Pelicans. Over his last seven appearances, the combo guard has averaged just 11.3 points, 1.7 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per game, though he's shooting 47.2 percent from deep during this span.

Kayla McBride - Suffers right quad tear Turkish club Fenerbahce announced Thursday that McBride suffered a tear in her right quad during a recent practice session, Mitchell Hansen of CanisHoopus.com reports.
Impact McBride put together another solid season with the Lynx during her age-33 campaign in 2025, averaging 14.2 points, 3.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 31.3 minutes per game. Availability hasn't been a concern over the past several years, as she's appeared in at least 38 regular-season games in three consecutive seasons. However, McBride is now slated to miss time overseas, and it's unclear whether her injury will impact her readiness for the start of training camp ahead of the 2026 WNBA season.

Kevon Looney - Rare appearance Wednesday Looney had four points (2-2 FG) and seven rebounds across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to Detroit.
Impact Looney moved back into the rotation, suiting up for the first time in the past seven games. The purpose of signing Looney remains somewhat of a mystery, with his only real value at this point coming in the locker room. He has appeared only eight times in the past two months, averaging 3.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per contest.

Karlo Matkovic - Limited again in loss Matkovic supplied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Matkovic failed to score more than five points for the sixth time in the past eight games, continuing to play as a third-string center option behind Derik Queen and Yves Missi. Although he appears to have carved out a regular spot in the rotation, at this point, it is not substantial enough to warrant any real fantasy attention. In 14 games over the past month, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game.

Micah Peavy - Busts out in loss Peavy recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Peavy turned in the best game of his young career, setting season-high marks in points, threes, rebounds and steals. With Zion Williamson exiting early due to illness, it was Peavy who filled the void. While this performance should probably be viewed as nothing more than an outlier, it wouldn't be surprising to see him step into a larger role down the stretch, if and when New Orleans opts to throw in the towel.

Zion Williamson - Won't return due to illness Williamson has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Detroit due to illness.
Impact Williamson was added to the injury report Wednesday morning due to illness, and he attempted to play through the issue. However, after logging four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 FT) and four rebounds across 15 minutes, Williamson no longer felt well enough to play and has been ruled out the rest of the way. His next chance to play will come Friday at Memphis. In the meantime, look for Karlo Matkovic and Micah Peavy to pick up the slack.

Zion Williamson - Heads to locker room Williamson went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against Detroit for unspecified reasons, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact Williamson was on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest due to an illness, and considering he didn't show any signs of an injury before he left the game, it's possible he's just feeling under the weather. While Williamson is off the court, Karlo Matkovic and Micah Peavy could see an uptick in minutes.
