DeAndre Jordan re-signed with the Pelicans, according to NBA Insider Chris Haynes.

Jordan, who turns 38 in July, will return to New Orleans for his 19th NBA season. Contract terms weren’t disclosed, but it’s safe to assume it’s a one-year deal. Jordan appeared in only 12 games for the Pelicans last season. He offers bench depth and a veteran presence at this point in his career.

Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williamson and DeAndre Jordan will start Thursday’s game against the Pistons.

While Murray is good to go, the Pelicans will not have Trey Murphy for Thursday’s game. He has been replaced in the lineup by Jordan, who offers a little more muscle to deal with Jalen Duren.

Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is out for Thursday’s game against the Kings.

Murray will sit out Thursday’s game for injury management reasons, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. The Pelicans could go back to DeAndre Jordan, who moved into the starting lineup a few games before Murray made his season debut.

Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson will start Tuesday’s game against the Lakers.

With Williamson returning to action after a one-game absence, the Pelicans will begin Tuesday’s contest without a legitimate center. DeAndre Jordan heads to the bench, while Saddiq Bey continues to start. Given how well Bey has played this season, it would have been extremely difficult to remove him from the starting five.

Trey Murphy (shoulder) is available for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Murphy is back after missing the last five games with a right shoulder contusion. Sunday’s game will be the first this season that he and Dejounte Murray (Achilles) have played together. If Zion Williamson (ankle) can’t play, Saddiq Bey and DeAndre Jordan should remain in the starting lineup. One will likely head to the bench if Zion plays.

Yves Missi (calf) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

Missi has not appeared in a game since February 9, with the second-year center being sidelined by a strained left calf. If he can play on Saturday, that could result in fewer minutes for DeAndre Jordan, but Missi is likely to be under a minutes restriction.

Yves Missi (calf) is out for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

Missi has been out since February 9 due to a strained left calf. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it has freed up a few minutes for DeAndre Jordan and Karlo Matković.

Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williamson and DeAndre Jordan will start Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

Murray is making his season debut on Tuesday, and he’ll do so as a starter. He will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should not expect too much too soon from the guard. Even more surprising is who he replaces in the starting lineup. Jordan will get another start, with Derik Queen being moved to the bench. If you’re confused by this, you aren’t the only one, even with Queen’s defensive struggles.

DeAndre Jordan accumulated six points (2-of-3 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 15 rebounds and four blocks over 31 minutes in Saturday’s win over the 76ers.

Jordan delivered double-digit rebounds and nearly reached the lofty 20-stock plateau in just his second start of the season. It was his first appearance since October 29. The 37-year-old veteran offers some decent streaming appeal as a rebounding and blocks specialist when he’s in the lineup, but his opportunities have been limited with the rebuilding Pelicans.

Having last appeared in a game on October 29, Jordan will make his third appearance and second start of the season on Saturday. He’ll match up with Andre Drummond, with the Pelicans likely hoping that their veteran pivot can keep his 76ers counterpart off the glass. Bryce McGowens heads to the bench.
