The New Orleans Pelicans have officially waived Keion Brooks Jr., Trhae Mitchell, Josh Oduro, and veteran guard Elfrid Payton, trimming down their roster as they approach the start of the regular season.

These moves come as the team fine-tunes its lineup and makes difficult decisions to comply with NBA roster limits.

Following these waivers, the Pelicans’ roster now consists of 17 players, including three on two-way contracts.

The cuts indicate that the Pelicans are prioritizing roster flexibility and looking to solidify their core rotation as they gear up for the challenges ahead.

By releasing Payton, a seasoned point guard with several years of NBA experience, the team shows a focus on younger talent and emerging players to complement their established stars.
