Behind 22 turnovers, a 63-44 halftime deficit, and being 9-21 in their last 30 games since Williamson got hurt after starting with a Western Conference-best 23-12 record, the downward spiral for the Pelicans has been apparent.

The Pelicans also recently lost point guard Jose Alvarado, MVP of the Futures Game during the All-Star break, and power forward Larry Nance, Jr. for at least the next two weeks until evaluation.

Hattiesburg Mayor Toby Barker, president of the Mississippi Municipal League, sees this as the first step in an ongoing issue, with $110 million allocated to PERS by the Legislature.
