So many aspects of the New Orleans Pelicans’ experience in Orlando later this month will be completely unfamiliar, including the fan-less environment, the league format, playing regular season games in mid-summer – you name it. Even the names on the backs of the jerseys may be different for some players, compared to what they sported a few months ago.
One constant for New Orleans from the past seven years will be present, however. Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday – who arrived in the Crescent City via a June 2013 trade – confirmed Wednesday that he’ll be with his teammates when they travel to Central Florida next week.
