DeAndre Jordan’s new role with the Pelicans

DeAndre Jordan may not be racking up minutes on the court for the Pelicans, but his impact is being felt in a whole new way. Coach James Borrego joked that Jordan is basically part of the coaching staff, bringing leadership and wisdom to the locker room. Even though he’s on a player contract, his presence as a mentor is invaluable—almost like having another coach on the floor. With the Pelicans pushing through tough games, having a veteran voice like Jordan’s could be just what this young squad needs to learn how to close out those nail-biters.
