The New Orleans Pelicans faced a turbulent 2024-2025 season, finishing with a dismal 21-61 record, largely due to injuries to key players. The anticipated 'Big 3' of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and Dejounte Murray failed to deliver, with all three struggling with injuries throughout the season. Despite these challenges, Trey Murphy emerged as a fantasy standout, posting career-high averages and solidifying his place in the lineup.

Meanwhile, Murray's season was marred by injury, limiting him to just 31 games, and raising concerns about his future availability. Williamson, regarded for his immense talent, continued to be a risk for fantasy managers due to his ongoing injury issues. Several other players, including Herb Jones and C.J. McCollum, also faced challenges, impacting their fantasy viability in upcoming drafts. Coach Willie Green's squad now looks towards the future, hoping for a healthier roster in the next season.
