Derik Queen’s CAREER-HIGH 26! Rookie Goes OFF vs Blazers 😳🔥

Reacting to Derik Queen’s career-high 26-point performance in the Pelicans’ matchup vs the Portland Trail Blazers on November 12, 2025. Despite New Orleans falling 125–117, the rookie put on a show — 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, attacking the lane with confidence and showing why he’s a piece to build around. Portland got massive nights from Shaedon Sharpe (35 on 13/18) and Deni Avdija (32 on 12/18, four threes), but Queen kept the Pelicans in it with energy, physicality, and efficient scoring. Trey Murphy III also made history, moving to 2nd all-time in Pelicans 3PM, passing Jrue Holiday. 🔥 Full reaction to Queen’s breakout night, Portland’s young duo going crazy, and what this means for the 2–9 Pelicans moving forward. 🏀 More NBA reactions coming daily! #NBA #DerikQueen #Pelicans #TrailBlazers #ShaedonSharpe #DeniAvdija #NBAHighlights #BasketballReaction#MaximusEmpire
