The New Orleans Hornets were formed after the original Charlotte Hornets franchise relocated to New Orleans for the 2002/03 NBA season.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to the New Orleans Arena, causing the franchise to temporarily relocate to Oklahoma City for the 2005/06 and the 2006/07 seasons. They returned to New Orleans for the 2007/08 season.

On January 24, 2013, the New Orleans Hornets announced they would rename themselves as the New Orleans Pelicans in an effort to localize the franchise name, as the Hornets were carried over from the original Charlotte Hornets during relocation. The new name took effect in the 2013-14 NBA season. As a result, records and history of the Hornets from 1988 to 2002 before relocation to New Orleans were returned to the second Charlotte Hornets franchise.
