         Pelicans owner Tom Benson says he sees the deal as a chance to further expand the "international reach" of both the Pelicans and Zatarain's brands.

         The club did not announce financial terms of the deal.

         The NBA this season began allowing teams to sell jersey sponsorships in the form of a small patch near the left shoulder. The league says 18 of 30 teams now have jersey patch deals.
