Saddiq Bey News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

All-around performance off bench Bey dropped 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 128-122 loss to Memphis.

Impact Bey was the only bench player to touch 30 minutes of play, but it is worth noting Yves Missi exited the contest early with an ankle injury. Bey paced the second unit in shot attempts, rebounds, assists and steals, and is expected to be a major contributor moving forward, especially if Missi ends up missing time.

Drops 21 points Saturday Bey amassed 21 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Saturday's 127-92 exhibition game win over the Melbourne Phoenix.

Impact Bey led all players in scoring, bouncing back after going 0-for-3 with zero points in Friday's win over Melbourne United. After missing the entire 2024-25 campaign due to a torn ACL, the 26-year-old forward has an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role behind Herbert Jones (ankle) this season.

Scoreless in fill-in start Bey finished scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with two rebounds, one assist , one steal and one block across 21 minutes of Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.

Impact Bey, who missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, saw his first taste of live action in this win. He started in place of the injured Herbert Jones (ankle), and it's a good sign that he was able to play 21 minutes in his first game back. If the Pelicans are at 100 percent for Opening Night, Bey is likely to be one of the first wings off the bench.

Says he's 100 percent Bey, who missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, said Tuesday that he'll be ready for Opening Night.

Impact Bey said the rehab process was long and that he's just grateful to be back on the court. Even though Bey said he'll be ready for Opening Night, it's fair to expect that the Pelicans will be cautious throughout training camp and the preseason as the team builds him back up. Bey is expected to be a key reserve on the wings behind Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones in 2025-26.
