Bennedict Mathurin Agrees to Two-Year, $16M Deal With Pelicans
The contract features a player option after his camp worked to have his qualifying offer from the Clippers rescinded.
Bennedict Mathurin is heading to New Orleans after agreeing to a two-year, $16 million contract with the Pelicans, as reported by TalkBasket via ESPN. The deal includes a player option, giving the guard a clear prove-it window with added contractual flexibility.
The agreement follows a push by Mathurin's representatives to have the Los Angeles Clippers withdraw his $8.8 million qualifying offer. Removing the tender allowed Mathurin to test the market and lock in a fresh start in New Orleans with enhanced financial security over the next two seasons.
