EDGE Analysis

In order to make room on the roster for Erik Stevenson, Washington let go of Nowell following the expiration of his 10-day contract. Nowell didn't make an appearance with the Wizards during this time, but he did average 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in 21.0 minutes over eight games with the Pelicans earlier in 2024-25. The 25-year-old guard will now look to find a home elsewhere.
