Dealing with back spasms Hawkins is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Golden State due to lower back spasms.

Impact Hawkins' status will need to be monitored with CJ McCollum (adductor) muscle, Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Trey Murphy (hamstring) all unavailable Wednesday. If cleared, it's unclear if Hawkins would start or come off the bench.

Leads reserves in scoring Sunday Hawkins supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 125-103 loss to Portland.

Impact Hawkins has given the Pelicans an offense spark off the bench, and he ended Sunday's game as the team's second-leading scorer behind CJ McCollum (27). Hawkins has gone 9-for-17 from beyond the arc over the first three games of the regular season, and over that span he's averaging 18.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 30.3 minutes per game.

Leading scorer in Friday's win Hawkins provided 24 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench during Friday's 105-103 victory over Portland.

Impact While the second-year guard was part of the second unit, Hawkins wound up leading the Pelicans in scoring in an impressive shooting effort. The UConn product also had a hot start to his rookie campaign before cooling down, but with Dejounte Murray (hand) out of action until at least late November, there's an opening for Hawkins to have an elevated role in the New Orleans backcourt for the first month-plus of 2024-25.

Shines in preseason finale Hawkins finished with 20 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds across 18 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason loss to the Rockets.

Impact Hawkins made his presence felt in the final game of the preseason, and the second-year guard showed throughout the preseason that he could contribute off the bench with the Pelicans, particularly as a scoring weapon in the second unit. He made 67 regular-season appearances, including 10 starts, as a rookie in 2023-24 and averaged 7.8 points per game, so he could find himself on the bench when the Pelicans open their 2024-25 regular season against the Bulls on Oct. 23.

Scores 11 in preseason loss Sunday Hawkins recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 17 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason loss to the Heat.

Impact Hawkins was the fifth member of the Pelicans to record double-digit points alongside Zion Williamson (13), Malcolm Hill (12), Dejounte Murray (11) and CJ McCollum (10). Hawkins is coming off a solid rookie season, during which he averaged 7.8 points and 2.2 rebounds across 17.3 minutes per game in 67 regular-season outings. The 22-year-old could see significant minutes off the bench this season, especially if Trey Murphy (hamstring) is out for an extended period of time.

Team option picked up The Pelicans announced Friday that they have exercised the third-year option for 2025-26 on Hawkin's contract, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hawkins slowed down toward the end of his rookie year but still averaged 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.3 minutes across 67 regular-season appearances, including 10 starts, in 2023-24. However, Hawkins could see a slight reduction in his role this season due to the addition of Dejounte Murray.

Good to go for camp Pelicans vice president of basketball operations said Monday that Hawkins (ankle) is cleared for training camp this week, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Hawkins picked up a right ankle injury during the final game of the Summer League, but X-rays were negative. That was back in July, however, so Hawkins being 100 percent ready for camp isn't a huge surprise. Hawkins showed some promise as a rookie, posting averages of 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 67 regular-season games.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Saturday Hawkins has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to a right ankle injury.

Impact Hawkins underwent X-rays after sustaining the injury, which came back negative. Still, the Pelicans will refrain from putting the 22-year-old back into its final Summer League contest. Hawkins will finish the game with three points (0-3 FG, 3-4 FT) and a block across 11 minutes. It's unclear if the injury will impact Hawkins' availability for training camp.

Unproductive night in loss Hawkins finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound over 15 minutes during Monday's 124-111 loss to the Suns.

Impact Since the All-Star break, the 21-year-old has averaged 3.7 points and 1.1 rebounds on 28.2 percent from the field. This is a serious decline from before the break, when Hawkins averaged 9.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 20.1 minutes, nearly doubling his recent playing time. The Pelicans are fighting to stay out of the Play-In Tournament and with Jose Alvarado (oblique) anticipated to return soon, Hawkins is not expected to be a viable fantasy option nearing the end of the season.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League The Pelicans recalled Hawkins from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Wednesday.

Impact The Pelicans wanted Hawkins to get some reps with Birmingham to stay sharp, as he's had a limited role at the NBA level in his last several outings.

Wakes up with 14 points Hawkins supplied 14 points (4-17 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 23 minutes during Friday's 106-95 loss to the Heat.

Impact After distinguishing himself as a valuable backup during CJ McCollum's absence earlier in the season, Hawkins fell off the map as a fantasy prospect. Hawkins' 14 points marked his first double-digit total in almost seven weeks, during a stretch where he struggled to see more then 10 minutes on the floor. Unless a serious backcourt injury occurs, a resurgence for Hawkins is unlikely.
