Pelicans: Signed F Julian Reese to a two-way contract.

The New Orleans Pelicans have added forward Julian Reese on a two‑way contract, giving the team a player who can split his time between the NBA roster and its G‑League affiliate. This move provides Reese an opportunity to develop within the organization while offering the Pelicans additional depth at the forward position.

Given the Pelicans’ current standing—26‑56 overall, #11 in the Western Conference, a power‑rank of #23, a two‑game losing streak, a 1‑9 record in their last ten games, and a net rating of –4.4—the club is looking for any avenue to improve its roster flexibility and talent pipeline. The two‑way slot allows the team to evaluate Reese’s impact in the G‑League and potentially call him up if he shows promise, which could be valuable as the franchise seeks to reverse its recent struggles.
