Pelicans fire head of basketball operations David Griffin

New Orleans finished the past season with a disappointing record of 21-61 following a slew of injuries to key players, including offseason acquisition Dejounte Murray and former No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson.

Along with the firing of Griffin, it doesn’t take an NBA insider to know that the Pelicans are also weighing the future of coach Willie Green. 

“New Orleans went 209-263 under Griffin’s leadership, building a strong roster this season but suffering significant injuries,” Charania wrote.

This is all something that was previously reported by Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

“This is his sixth season in charge and there are some in New Orleans, league sources say, who are undeniably bracing for his exit,” Stein and Fischer wrote.

They went on to call Green’s status “also tenuous.”

Green has compiled a 148-179 overall record in four seasons with the Pelicans, though they did reach the playoffs twice. They failed to get out of the first round either time.
