Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Back to bench
Rotowire
Jordan isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Jordan will revert back to the bench with Zion Williamson returning to the hardwood Tuesday evening. Jordan struggled to see much playing time even when in the starting five, so he's unlikely to have much upside in Los Angeles.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Sticks in starting lineup
Rotowire
Jordan contributed three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 victory over the Jazz.
Jordan was given the starting nod for the fourth straight game, although his playing time tells a different story. Despite starting, he has logged no more than 13 minutes in each of the past two games, an indication that he could slide back out of the rotation, especially with Yves Missi returning from a calf strain. Even if Jordan can remain a nightly part of the rotation, his days of being a viable fantasy asset are now well behind him.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Turns back clock in win
Rotowire
Jordan amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds and four blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's 126-111 victory over the 76ers.
After not touching an NBA court since Oct 29, Jordan was thrust into the starting lineup Saturday. Not only did he log a season-high 31 minutes, but he rewarded anyone who took a chance on him by gobbling up a game-high 15 rebounds to go with four blocked shots. It's unlikely Jordan will put up these type of numbers consistently, but he appears to still have the ability to crash the boards and make an impact on defense.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Jordan will start against the 76ers on Saturday.
The veteran center hasn't seen game action since Oct. 29 but will join the starting lineup in favor of Bryce McGowens on Saturday. Over two regular-season outings (one start) thus far, Jordan has averaged 4.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per contest.
Jordan ended with two points (1-1 FG) and five rebounds over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 122-88 loss to Denver.
Jordan was given the starting nod, an indication of how desperate things are in New Orleans at the moment. The Pelicans have lost all four games to begin the season, the last two by significant margins. Despite starting, Jordan was a non-factor during his limited time on the floor. To be clear, he should not be starting for an NBA team, nor should he be on any fantasy rosters.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Jordan is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Denver.
Jordon looked decent across 11 minutes in his regular-season debut Monday, but he'll draw a tough matchup against Nikola Jokic on Wednesday, so he's still not the most attractive target despite the starter designation. Joining him in the first unit will be Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Scores seven points in NOP debut
Rotowire
Jordan posted seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 11 minutes during Monday's 122-90 loss to Boston.
The 37-year-old big man looked surprisingly spry out there, throwing down a thunderous jam for his first bucket, and he brought some much-needed size to a New Orleans team that was without Zion Williamson (foot) and Kevon Looney (knee). The Pelicans will fly to Denver for their next matchup with the Nuggets on Wednesday, and if Williamson is again sidelined for that one, Jordan should remain in the rotation.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Off injury report for Monday
Rotowire
Jordan (recently signed) isn't listed on the Pelicans' injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Jordan signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans on Friday but didn't play in the team's loss to the Spurs that night. The veteran big man isn't guaranteed to see the floor against Boston, though he could enter the rotation if Yves Missi (ankle) and Karlo Matkovic (back) are ultimately ruled out.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Unlikely to play Friday
Rotowire
Head coach Willie Green said Jordan (recently signed) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Jordan signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans on Friday and isn't expected to suit up against San Antonio. In the likely event the veteran big man joins Yves Missi (ankle), Kevon Looney (knee) and Karlo Matkovic (back) on the sideline, Derik Queen and Hunter Dickinson are expected to see increased minutes at center.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Signs with Pelicans
Rotowire
Jordan signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Pelicans on Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The Pelicans have had some tough injury luck in the frontcourt, so Jordan is being brought in to bolster the team's rebounding and interior defense. Yves Missi (ankle) and Karlo Matkovic (back) are both questionable to play Friday against the Spurs, while Kevon Looney (knee) is sidelined. That means Jordan could be thrown into action right away.
Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Career-low 3.7 PPG in 2024-25
Rotowire
Jordan finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.3 steals across 12.3 minutes per game in 56 regular-season outings (five starts).
The veteran big man received inconsistent run as Nikola Jokic's backup this season. Jordan appeared in six of the Nuggets' seven games during their first-round series win over the Clippers but made only one appearance during the second round, logging just two minutes. The 36-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he'll likely be tabbed for a role providing depth and serving as a veteran presence at this stage of his career.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Plays five minutes
Rotowire
Jordan recorded one rebound across five minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After sitting out Game 1 for a coach's decision, Jordan was used sparingly in Game 2. The Nuggets are rolling with a tight rotation against the Clippers, and that's unlikely to change now that the teams are tied at one win apiece.
