Due to the timing of a February trade with Sacramento, Alvin Gentry spent only the final 7 1/2 weeks of the 2016-17 season coaching DeMarcus Cousins, but New Orleans’ third-year head coach will now get to spend additional time with the three-time All-Star this summer. As part of the 15th edition of Basketball Without Borders Africa, Gentry and Cousins will travel to Johannesburg, South Africa in July, with the Pelicans big man expected to play in an Aug. 5 exhibition game. The game will be held at the Ticketpro Dome and is the second of its kind on the African continent.
