Overview
- The 0-4 Pelicans have been routed in back-to-back games, including a 122-88 loss in Denver that extended their worst start of the season.
- Multiple reports say the front office led by Joe Dumars is holding serious internal discussions about moving on from head coach Willie Green.
- Players have reportedly shown frustration with rotation choices, fueling concern that Green has lost the locker room.
