Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Excels in preseason finale
Fears tallied 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and three steals in 22 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.
Fears tied for the team lead in steals and reached double figures for the fourth time in as many preseason games. The second-year guard averaged 13.3 points this exhibition season in a starting role. Dejounte Murray (toe) sat out Friday's finale, which gave Fears even more time with the ball in his hands.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Solid effort in preseason win
Fears chipped in 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and three steals across 20 minutes in Wednesday's 101-97 preseason win over Dallas.
Fears led New Orleans in points, assists and steals as the Pelicans held on for a narrow victory. The 20-year-old has scored in double figures in all three of his preseason appearances after averaging 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 82 regular-season games (49 starts) as a rookie in 2025-26. How Fears coexists with Dejounte Murray (toe) over a full campaign and how the point-guard duties are divided will be a storyline to monitor as the regular season approaches.

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.

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.

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.
