The Pelicans star now has until the trade deadline to prove his worth after Willie Green's firing.

NEW ORLEANS, La. (WGNO)- When Joe Dumars took over as the Pelicans’ Executive VP of Basketball Operations, we knew Willie Green’s time could be limited since he wasn’t a Dumars hire. And now, following a 2-10 start, Green is out as head coach. His time in New Orleans, which began in 2021, included two playoff appearances and first-round exits.

New Orleans Pelicans owner Gayle Benson weights in on coach Willie Green's job status as the losses mount for the NBA team.
