The New Orleans Pelicans have signed forward Wenyen Gabriel to a 10-day contract via the hardship exception. New Orleans is currently without several players due to injuries, as well as the health and safety protocols. Gabriel is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics.
The Pelicans will be Gabriel's third team this season. He's also played for the Brooklyn Nets and LA Clippers on hardship deals this season.
This is Gabriel's second go-around in New Orleans. He was previously with the Pelicans for the 2020-21 season.
