Injury-plagued Pelicans reach deal with veteran Josh Smith
The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to a deal with free-agent forward Josh Smith, a source told ESPN's Bobby Marks.
The Pelicans will add Smith after being granted an extra roster spot via the injury-hardship exception. New Orleans qualified for the exception because four players have missed at least three consecutive games.
A 12-year veteran, Smith last played in the NBA in the 2015-16 season, splitting his time between the Houston Rockets and LA Clippers.
For his career, Smith has averaged 14.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
