DeAndre Jordan

DeAndre Jordan has agreed to a contract with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

Jordan will be back for his 19th NBA season and his second in New Orleans. The veteran played in just 12 games during the 2025-26 campaign and will likely remain a depth piece for the Pelicans.

DeAndre Jordan received the starting nod for Wednesday's 122-88 loss to Denver, finishing with two points (1-1 FG) and five rebounds over 12 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Jordan's insertion into the starting lineup highlights the team's current desperation, as the Pelicans have dropped their first four games of the season, with the last two losses coming by significant margins. Despite the promotion, Jordan played limited minutes and was a non-factor. He should not be on any fantasy rosters.

DeAndre Jordan is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

Jordan is set to make his season debut after signing a one-year deal with the Pelicans last week. He will hold a depth role with Yves Missi (ankle) and Karlo Matković (back) both questionable.

DeAndre Jordan has signed a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

Jordan is joining a Pelicans team currently dealing with multiple frontcourt injuries. Kevon Looney (knee) is expected to miss at least the next couple of weeks, while Yves Missi (ankle) and Karlo Matkovic (back) are questionable for Friday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. It’s unclear when Jordan will make his debut, but he should provide much-needed frontcourt depth.

DeAndre Jordan scored ten points (2-4 FG, 6-12 FT) and grabbed 17 rebounds in Wednesday's 113-106 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

The big man had a good game on Wednesday. He logged a double-double against the Spurs which featured a team-high 17 rebounds. He will see less work whenever Nikola Jokic (ankle) is back in the lineup for the Nuggets.
