The Wizards released Nowell on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
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.

The Wizards recalled Nowell from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nowell's presence will offer the Wizards an extra body off the bench in the backcourt ahead of Wednesday's game against the Pacers. However, there's no guarantee the veteran guard will see meaningful playing time against Indiana.

The Wizards signed Nowell to a 10-day contract Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nowell has spent most of the 2024-25 season in the G League with the Capital City Go-Go after the Pelicans waived him in November. He has averaged 23.9 points on 50.4 percent shooting, 5.6 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 34.1 minutes per game in the G League regular season. He'll join the Wizards for the next 10 days and will look to carve out some minutes for himself off the bench.

The Pelicans plan to waive Nowell on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After failing to win a spot on the Wizards' season-opening roster coming out of the preseason, Nowell caught on with the Pelicans on a one-year deal earlier this month when New Orleans was short on healthy bodies. He had appeared off the bench in eight of the Pelicans' last nine games, averaging 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 21.0 minutes while shooting just 35.6 percent from the floor. The Pelicans will replace Nowell on the 15-man roster with Elfrid Payton, who will provide New Orleans with a more traditional option at point guard while Dejounte Murray (hand) and Jose Alvarado (hamstring) are sidelined.

Nowell produced 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Nowell made just his second appearance for the Pelicans against the Trail Blazers after signing with New Orleans on Saturday. While the 25-year-old guard struggled with his efficiency, he was the team's leading scorer off the bench. With Jordan Hawkins (back) questionable for Wednesday and Dejounte Murray (hand) and CJ McCollum (thigh) out for significant periods, Nowell could continue to receive extended playing time.
