Pelicans release 2023 preseason schedule

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The New Orleans Pelicans have released their preseason schedule for 2023.

Out of four total, the Pelicans will open preseason hosting one game in the Smoothie King Center at 7 p.m. on Oct. 10, tipping off against the Orlando Magic. Their second “home” game will be in Birmingham’s Legacy Arena on Oct. 12 at 7 p.m., hosting the Houston Rockets.
