The New Orleans Pelicans and Saints announced an eight-year partnership with Ochsner Health System on July 26th, and the professional sports teams renamed their training facility and practice fields in honor of the health care provider based in southeast Louisiana.
Less than three weeks later, Saints Head Coach Sean Payton and others were left miffed following a misdiagnosis of team's starting corner, Delvin Breaux. Team orthopedic physicians confused a fractured fibula as a contusion, subsequently, the Saints fired Deryk Jones and Misty Suri.
The interesting thing is Dr. Suri was also an employee of the Pelicans at the time of the terminations, but the basketball side of things decided to retain him.
