New Orleans Pelicans players report missing 2026-27 NBA schedule

The New Orleans Pelicans are facing uncertainty regarding their 2026-2027 season. Players, including small forward Trey Murphy III, have noted that the team does not appear on the official NBA schedule. Murphy III expressed confusion, stating that inquiries sent to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver have gone unanswered.

Concerns have also been raised regarding the availability of the team’s home arena, the Smoothie King Center, which has reportedly been booked for various non-basketball events, including monster truck rallies and reptile expos, for the next seven months.

For fans looking to follow the team, most in-market games are expected to air on the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network (GCSEN), with national coverage provided by ABC, ESPN, and NBC. Streaming options include Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium, while out-of-market viewers can utilize NBA League Pass.
