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.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Senate Medicaid expansion conferees offered the House two counteroffers. One was the original Medicaid “lite” plan from the Senate, and the other was a compromise without a work requirement. Both plans cover residents up to 138% of the federal poverty level, with the state paying 10% of insurance costs. State Senator Kevin Blackwell stated that the Senate's hybrid plan aligns with the House's request to cover individuals up to 138% of the poverty level. The House can choose to accept, amend, or decline both offers.
