New Orleans Pelicans Sign Former Mavericks Big Man to 10-Day Contract

The New Orleans Pelicans have added former Dallas Mavericks player Kylor Kelley to their roster on a 10-day contract for the remainder of the season.

The Mavericks have faced challenges this season due to NBA salary cap restrictions, limiting their ability to make roster additions. Despite dealing with injuries to key players like Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, the Mavericks have managed to stay in the playoff hunt. Last month, the team waived Kelley to free up space for Kai Jones, a forward from the Los Angeles Clippers.

Jones has made a significant impact, averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals over nine games, while shooting impressively from the field, three-point range, and the free-throw line.

After being waived by the Mavericks, Kelley returned to the G-League, playing for the South Bay Lakers. However, he now gets another NBA opportunity with the Pelicans, who are currently missing key players Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum for the remainder of the season and are out of the playoff race. Kelley is expected to be eligible for the Pelicans’ final six games, starting with a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers on April 4.

In his NBA debut earlier this year with the Mavericks, Kelley recorded one point and four rebounds in a win over the Washington Wizards. He played in eight games for Dallas, averaging 3.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, and shooting 76.9% from the field in 8.4 minutes per game. The Mavericks and Pelicans won’t meet again this season.
