Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Scores 11 in starting role
Fears recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Thursday's 128-118 preseason loss to Miami.
Fears drew the start at point guard and delivered an efficient scoring performance, although he committed three turnovers. The second-year guard showed encouraging perimeter shooting and should remain in the mix for backcourt minutes, but competition from Dejounte Murray (rest) and Jordan Poole could limit his opportunities once the regular season begins.

Fears capped the year by setting the franchise rookie scoring record with a 40-point performance and enters 2026-27 as one of New Orleans' most promising young guards. Even with Dejounte Murray expected back, Fears has positioned himself for a significant role in the Pelicans' backcourt rotation.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Scores 36 in regular-season finale
Fears totaled 36 points (12-28 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 41 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timberwolves.
Fears continued his strong scoring stretch to close the regular season, scoring exactly 36 points for the second straight game. His usage spiked over the past three contests, averaging 28.7 field-goal attempts after not reaching the 20-attempt mark in any prior game. The No. 7 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft will close his rookie campaign averaging 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 82 appearances (49 starts).

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Scores 36 points in blowout loss
Fears tallied 36 points (13-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-11 FT), six assists, three rebounds and three steals across 44 minutes in Friday's 144-118 loss to Boston.
After dropping a career-high 40 points in Tuesday's win over Utah, the rookie first-rounder turned in another impressive offensive showing Friday, though he was less efficient. Fears also led New Orleans in assists and steals and has tallied six dimes and three swipes in back-to-back outings. He'll likely continue to play a sizable role during Sunday's regular-season finale in Minnesota, as the Pelicans have little to play for at this point.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Erupts for career-high 40 points
Fears popped off for 40 points (17-29 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 156-137 win over the Jazz.
Fears not only set a new career high in scoring, but he also established the Pelicans' single-game rookie scoring record in the blowout win. He became just the fifth rookie in the past decade to post a 40-5-5 line, and he only committed two turnovers in his 38 minutes of floor time.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Scores 19 points in start
Fears recorded 19 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to the Magic.
With Trey Murphy (ankle) and Dejounte Murray (hand) sidelined, Fears was able to play a featured role in the backcourt. Over his last seven games, he averaged 17.7 points, 4.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 46.2 percent shooting from the field.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Starting Sunday
Fears will start Sunday versus the Magic.
Fears is getting a spot start with Trey Murphy (ankle) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williamson and Yves Missi. As a starter this season, Fears has averaged 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 triples and 1.2 steals per contest.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Posts season-high 28 points
Fears amassed 28 points (10-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes during Friday's 117-113 loss to Sacramento.
Fears matched a 28-point effort that he also managed against the Kings a month ago. It took 11 more minutes on the court this time around, but he padded Friday's line with five more rebounds. The return of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) has cut into the rookie's production, but his proficiency at the off-guard position has offered additional opportunities. The Washington product has successfully fended off Jordan Poole on the depth chart, giving the Pelicans more flexibility to trade backcourt pieces in the offseason trade market.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Pops for team-high 21 in loss
Fears contributed 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 26 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 118-106 loss to Portland.
The teenage rookie led the Pelicans in scoring as he continues to find some success from long range to close out the season. Over 16 games (one start) since the beginning of March, Fears has averaged 13.0 points, 3.3 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.6 threes and 0.8 steals in 21.9 minutes over that stretch while shooting 41.3 percent from beyond the arc, a big step up from the 32.4 percent mark he held heading into the All-Star break.
