The New Orleans Hornets are expected to sign Terrel Harris for the remainder of the season after his second 10-day contract expires.

Harris has played in six games for the Hornets, averaging 0.7 points.

Harris has played for two NBA teams after leaving Oklahoma State in 2009.

Anthony Davis is willing to clear his calendar to work with Monty Williams during the offseason.

"If that's what it takes to get better," Davis said. "Whatever he wants me to do, I'm down for it. Because I just want to get better."

Davis realizes he’s currently thriving on natural talent.

"I'm just trying to use my quickness," Davis said. "That's all there is to it. Nothing fancy. I just try to use the things that I can do to my advantage.”

Williams wants Davis to add a strength and conditioning program.

"This summer he's going to have to live in the weight room,” Williams said. “And he's going to have to shoot a lot of shots, just to get his shot right. He's got to get a better understanding of the NBA game.

"We're going to work on his game all summer. He's going to get about two weeks off and then he's going to be here. I know he's going to be stronger and he's going to have a better understanding of the game come next year."

The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have signed guard Terrell Harris to a second 10-day contract.

Harris, an Oklahoma State product, originally signed his first 10-day contract with the Hornets on March 8, 2013.  

With the Hornets, Harris has appeared in two games and averaged 0.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 6.0 minutes per game. 

Damian Lillard has been running away as the best rookie this season and is likely to win the Rookie of the Year award over last June's No. 1 overall pick, Anthony Davis.

In Monty Williams' mind, the way Lillard has risen this season has taken pressure off Davis, allowing him to play in a shadow and develop without shouldering expectations to potentially win the Rookie of the Year.

"With Lillard, he's older, his body is more mature, and that has taken some pressure off A.D," Williams said. "A.D has played well, it's just that Lillard has played like an All-Star. You can't argue with the fact that he has been the best rookie this year, but A.D. has been right behind him. Just not as close as everybody wants him to be."

Lou Amundson will leave the Chicago Bulls with the expiration of his 10-day contract and sign with the New Orleans Hornets for the rest of the season.

The Bulls had offered Amundson a second 10-day deal.

Amundson expects to receive more minutes from the Hornets.

The New Orleans Hornets are considering signing Terrel Harris to a 10-day contract.

Austin Rivers broke his hand on Wednesday and is potentially out for the remainder of the season.

Harris was waived by the Miami Heat in January before his contract became guaranteed.

Harris has since been playing in the D-League.

Austin Rivers will miss four to six weeks with a broken hand.

Rivers was going for a steal when he jammed his hand on the body of teammate Greivis Vasquez.

Rivers has had a largely disappointing rookie season.

Ryan Anderson is having another strong season, but has had more difficult shots playing for the New Orleans Hornets without Dwight Howard.

"My shots are a lot more difficult now. I've had to adjust," Anderson said.

Anderson is averaging 16.7 points per game on 44.1 percent shooting from the floor.

"Dwight double-teams and Dwight kick-outs.

"My situation was made easy because of Dwight … Greivis has done a good job. A lot of my open shots come from him."

The New Orleans Hornets are expected to sign NBA D-League center Henry Sims to a 10-day contract, a league source confirmed.

Sims averaged 17.1 points and 9.0 rebounds in 36 games with the Erie Bayhawks.

Jason Smith will miss the remainder of the season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Smith appeared in 51 games for the Hornets this season, averaging 8.2 points and 3.6 rebounds.
