Six-year NBA guard Jaylen Nowell has officially agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, sources tell ESPN.
Nowell, known for his scoring ability, has averaged nine points per game over his career, showcasing his capability as a reliable contributor off the bench.
He joins a Pelicans team that is currently facing some challenges, as they will be without key players like Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy due to injuries.
This presents an opportunity for Nowell to step into a more significant role and help fill the scoring void left by these absences.
Nowell’s versatility as a guard will provide the Pelicans with additional depth and scoring options as they navigate a competitive season.
