After over a decade in the NBA, CJ McCollum has been there before. He helped the New Orleans Pelicans snap an 11-game losing streak Friday when he dropped 50 points to help secure a win over the Washington Wizards.
This season has already slipped away from the Pelicans, though, as the team sits with a league-worst 6-29 record with just over a month before the NBA's Feb. 6 trade deadline. Zion Williamson has played in just six games this year, sidelined since early November with a hamstring injury. Dejounte Murray broke his hand on opening night, his first game as a Pelican, and missed 17 games.
