Jalen Jones: Inks camp deal with New Orleans

The Pelicans have yet to formally announce the details of Jones’ contract, but
it’s likely a non-guaranteed deal that includes an invitation to training camp.
The 24-year-old Jones took part in camp with the Celtics last season, but was
unable to win a roster spot and spent 2016-17 with the D-League’s Maine Red
Claws. After the campaign, he latched on with the Pelicans’ summer-league squad,
impressing the organization with averages of 13.3 points and 6.2 rebounds in six
games. He’ll be a long shot to win a roster spot heading into the upcoming
season.
