The 2015–16 New Orleans Pelicans season was the 14th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team failed to post a second consecutive winning season and missed the playoffs. Following the season, tragedy struck as Bryce Dejean-Jones was shot dead while shouting for his girlfriend for his daughter's first birthday at the Dallas apartment. Dejean-Jones death was the first for an active NBA player since Eddie Griffin, who died in a car accident in 2007.
