Trey Murphy III - Finishes preseason with solid line Murphy supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 21 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Murphy bounced back from a five-point showing against Dallas, reaching double figures for the third time in four preseason games. The forward should see a heavy workload this season as one of the Pelicans' top multi-category producers.

Zion Williamson - Off the mark in preseason finale Williamson posted 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Williamson struggled with his shot, missing all four of his three-point attempts. Staying healthy has always been the question for the 26-year-old forward, so a clean bill of health heading into the regular season is the biggest takeaway from his preseason workload.

Jeremiah Fears - Excels in preseason finale Fears tallied 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and three steals in 22 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Fears tied for the team lead in steals and reached double figures for the fourth time in as many preseason games. The second-year guard averaged 13.3 points this exhibition season in a starting role. Dejounte Murray (toe) sat out Friday's finale, which gave Fears even more time with the ball in his hands.

Saddiq Bey - Logs game-high 19 points Bey logged 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 17 minutes during Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Bey exploded off the bench for a game-high 19 points after totaling just 21 points across his previous three preseason appearances. He posted a career-high 17.7 points per game last season, and New Orleans rewarded him with a three-year, $55.5 million extension in September. Bennedict Mathurin's arrival could cut into his time this season, but he'll still be a valuable piece of the offense.

Karlo Matkovic - Won't start Friday Matkovic is not listed in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards.

Impact Matkovic started in Wednesday's 101-97 preseason victory over the Mavericks. However, he will return to the bench for the Pelicans' final exhibition before meeting the Pacers on Opening Night.

Saddiq Bey - Back to bench Friday Bey is not listed in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against Washington.

Impact Bey will come off the bench in the final preseason game for the Pelicans before the team kicks off the 2026-27 campaign versus the Pacers on Opening Night.

Bennedict Mathurin - Not starting Friday Mathurin is not listed in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards.

Impact Mathurin will come off the bench for the last exhibition before the start of the 2026-27 campaign. The 2022 No. 6 overall pick, who is competing for a spot in the starting lineup, has averaged 9.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 16.7 minutes per contest in three preseason appearances.

Dejounte Murray - Out again Friday Murray (toe) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Murray looked good in the preseason opener on Oct. 7, but then sat out the final three exhibition games due to a toe issue. He'll have another four days to rest up before the Pelicans' regular-season opener against the Pacers on Oct. 21, and for now, he can be considered questionable for that one. If he's not ready by Opening Night, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole would get a bump in value.

Hunter Dickinson - Back with Pels Dickinson signed a training camp contract with New Orleans on Thursday, The Spot Up Shot reports.

Impact Dickinson was waived by the Pelicans nearly one month ago after signing a two-way pact earlier this summer. This is likely a transaction to funnel him to the club's G League team ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
