New Orleans acquired McCollum from the Portland Trail Blazers shortly before last year's trade deadline. McCollum was slated to be a free agent after the 2023-24 season before the deal.

McCollum, now 31, averaged 24.3 points per game as a Pelican last season, helping them to their first playoff appearance since the 2017-18 season. They were the No. 8 seed and lost to the top-seeded Phoenix Suns in six games.
