The New Orleans Pelicans are gearing up for an exciting showdown at the NBA 2K26 Summer League, set to take place from July 10-20 in Las Vegas. The anticipation is building as the franchise unveils its roster for the event, showcasing a blend of fresh talent and familiar faces.
Leading the charge will be assistant coach Corey Brewer, stepping up as the head coach for the Summer League roster. This lineup features some notable highlights from the 2025 NBA Draft, including Jeremiah Fears, the 7th overall pick who brings undeniable potential, Derik Queen at 13th overall with a strong ability to contribute both offensively and defensively, and Micah Peavy, selected 40th, poised to make a mark.
The roster isn’t just about the rookies, though. It’s bolstered by two-way players Trey Alexander and Hunter Dickinson, alongside familiar names from the previous season like Keion Brooks Jr., Yves Missi, Lester Quiñones, and Antonio Reeves. Each of these players has valuable experience under their belts, which could help establish a stable foundation for the team’s growth.
Ahead of the Summer League action, the Pelicans will kick off their training camp with practices scheduled from July 6-8 at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center. These sessions will be crucial for team chemistry and strategy as they prepare for their first game.

Fans should also mark their calendars for additional matchups against the Los Angeles Lakers on July 12, the Portland Trail Blazers on July 15, and the Oklahoma City Thunder on July 16. The excitement doesn’t stop there, as the date and opponent for the Pelicans’ fifth game will depend on the outcomes of their initial four contests.
