Jordan Poole News: Dishes out four assists Saturday

Poole chipped in 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four assists and two rebounds across 18 minutes in Saturday's 127-92 exhibition game win over the Melbourne Phoenix.

Poole finished as the Pelicans' second-leading scorer while dishing out a team-high-tying four assists. However, the 26-year-old guard struggled from three-point range for a second consecutive preseason game, a span in which he's shot 2-for-11 from downtown. Poole is coming off a productive 2024-25 campaign with the Wizards where he averaged 20.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting 37.8 percent from beyond the arc across 29.4 minutes per game in 68 regular-season outings.
