The Pelicans picked up the 2020-21 option for head coach Alvin Gentry on Monday, according to ESPN's Malika Andrews.
Gentry has been New Orleans' coach since 2015. He is 145–183 in four seasons with the organization, reaching the postseason in 2018. The Pelicans finished 13th in the West in 2018-19 at 33–49.
The upcoming season will represent a new era for Gentry and the Pelicans. New Orleans agreed to traded Anthony Davis to the Lakers on Saturday and is expected to select Zion Williamson with the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on Thursday.
