The New Orleans Pelicans are signing center Josh Oduro to a two-way NBA contract, according to sources via ESPN. Oduro will join the Pelicans directly from the franchise’s G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron.
The two-way contract allows Oduro to be active for the New Orleans Pelicans while also spending time with the Birmingham Squadron. This transaction provides New Orleans with additional frontcourt size and depth at the center position. Oduro has been a member of the Squadron roster throughout the current season prior to this call-up to the NBA level.
By signing Oduro to a two-way deal, the Pelicans utilize one of their available two-way roster spots. The team has not yet released a formal statement regarding the signing or any potential corresponding roster moves to accommodate the addition. Oduro is expected to join the team's active roster in the coming days.
