The New Orleans Pelicans now know the schedule for their four Emirates NBA Cup games.
The NBA announced the schedule for group play of its annual in-season tournament Wednesday morning.
The Pelicans, as announced in June, are in West Group B with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Pelicans get their first two games at the Smoothie King Center, hosting the Timberwolves on Nov. 6 and the Grizzlies on Nov. 13. They will then hit the road to play the Thunder on Nov. 20 and the Clippers on Nov. 27.
The NBA implemented the in-season tournament during the 2023-’24 season. The 30 teams are divided into six groups of five teams each.
The six group winners and two wild card teams advance to the knockout stage. The quarterfinals of the knockout stage is Dec. 4 and Dec. 5. The semifinals are Dec. 8 and 9. The championship is set for Dec. 11 in Indianapolis after being held in Las Vegas the first three years.
Two more games on the Pelicans’ schedule were announced in May.
The Pelicans will play a pair of games against the San Antonio Spurs in Europe.
The Pelicans will play the Spurs at Accor Arena in Paris, France, on Jan. 14.
Three days later, the two teams will play in Manchester, England, at Co-op Live.
It’s part of the NBA’s multi-year slate of regular-season games in Europe.
The entire NBA schedule will be announced Thursday.
