Reports: Canadian Mathurin signs two-year, US$16m deal with New Orleans Pelicans
NEW ORLEANS — Canadian guard Bennedict Mathurin is headed to the New Orleans Pelicans, according to multiple reports.
ESPN’s Shams Charania was first to report Wednesday that the Montreal native has agreed to a two-year, US$16-million deal that includes a player option.
The 24-year-old averaged 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 54 games with Indiana and the L.A. Clippers last season.
Mathurin was traded to the Clippers in February after spending his first three-and-a-half NBA seasons with the Pacers.
