The New Orleans Pelicans have fired executive vice president of basketball operations, David Griffin, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
The firing of Griffin comes after New Orleans completed a 21-61 campaign over the weekend, which saw them finish well out of playoff contention. Key injuries to franchise players Zion Williamson and C.J. McCollum led to the team selling at the deadline, which included a trade of star wing Brandon Ingram.
