New Orleans Pelicans Summer League 2022 roster, dates and complete schedule

The New Orleans Pelicans had quite a dramatic end to their 2021-22 campaign, having made the playoffs via the play-in tournament.

The Pelicans won 36 of their 83 regular-season games, finishing ninth as the season wrapped up. They went on to beat the San Antonio Spurs and the LA Clippers in back-to-back games to earn a playoff spot.

New Orleans secured the eighth seed and faced off against the Phoenix Suns in the first-round, forcing the series to six games. The Pelicans, led by CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram, were finally defeated, but they gave the Suns a tough fight.

The addition of McCollum has given the New Orleans Pelicans a lot to look forward to, including the possible return of Zion Williamson.

Carrying on the momentum from the previous season, New Orleans will be looking to make an impact in the Summer League.
