The New Orleans Pelicans are bringing in Jason Hervey as part of their basketball operations staff, according to a report from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
While the exact title and responsibilities of Hervey’s new role have not been disclosed, his hiring adds a seasoned and versatile figure to the Pelicans’ organizational structure.
Hervey brings with him a wealth of NBA experience. He began his career with the Detroit Pistons, where he worked under longtime executive Joe Dumars, serving initially as a video coordinator before moving up to become the director of player development.
Since his time in Detroit, Hervey has worn multiple hats across the league, taking on roles such as advance scout, personnel scout, and quality control coach for several franchises.
His diverse background suggests that the Pelicans may be tapping into his broad skill set to support areas like scouting, player development, or game preparation, though official duties have yet to be confirmed.
Either way, the move signals New Orleans’ continued investment in strengthening its front office and support staff with experienced basketball minds.
