The Pelicans added Ford to their Summer League roster on Friday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

After playing with the Kings on a two-way contract last season and beginning the Las Vegas Summer League with Sacramento, Ford will now join the Pelicans' Summer League roster. The second-year guard will have an opportunity to compete for a regular-season roster spot.

Ford (hip) suited up for the Kings in games Saturday and Sunday in the California Classic Summer League, totaling 39 points, six assists, six rebounds and three steals between wins over the Lakers and Heat.

EDGE Analysis

While playing under a two-way deal with Sacramento in 2023-24, Ford made just six appearances at the NBA level and was sidelined for the G League Stockton Kings' final game of the season due to a hip injury. He looks to be back to full health while playing for the Kings in the Summer League, but the 26-year-old guard isn't currently under contract heading into the 2024-25 season. The Kings declined his $1.87 million qualifying offer June 29, making Ford an unrestricted free agent.

Ford (hip) isn't listed on Sacramento's injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Ford appears to have moved past a hip injury he suffered toward the end of the G League campaign. However, the two-way guard isn't guaranteed to see playing time at the NBA level.

Ford (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Ford recently missed the G League Western Conference Finals with this same injury, so his absence is not surprising. He will have two chances left to play, against the Suns on Friday and the Trail Blazers on Sunday, before the end of the regular season, but even if he's deemed healthy, he's not expected to see regular minutes in head coach Mike Brown's rotation.

Ford is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans with right hip soreness.

EDGE Analysis

With the G League's Stockton Kings having wrapped up their season Sunday with a loss to the Oklahoma City Blue in the Western Conference Finals of the G League playoff, Ford will be with Sacramento for the remainder of the season due to his standing as a two-way player. However, because he missed Sunday's G League game with the hip injury, Ford won't be rejoining the Kings at full health. Even if he's cleared to play Thursday, Ford is unlikely to be included in head coach Mike Brown's rotation.

Ford supplied 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 32 minutes in Stockton's 123-93 G League win over Mexico City on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Ford was one point away from sharing the team lead in scoring with Kessler Edwards and snapped a brief downturn where he'd put up 10 points or fewer in three straight games. The St. Mary's College product has put together some breakout offensive efforts this season, but he's also been prone to the occasional single-digit point tally.

Ford (undisclosed) had his contract converted to a two-way deal Thursday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford signed a training camp deal with the Kings on Tuesday and will become a two-way player a few days later. His new contract will allow him to move between the parent club and G League squad easily.

The Kings signed Ford (undisclosed) to a training camp deal Tuesday, Sean Cunningham of Fox40 News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ford averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 26.1 minutes across 32 games for the Stockton Kings of the G League in 2022-23. After also impressing in the Summer League, Ford will have an opportunity to make Sacramento's regular-season roster.

Ford recorded 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists and one rebound in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 107-99 Summer League loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Ford led Sacramento in scoring Tuesday despite the loss. Ford spent the 2022-23 season with the Stockton Kings of the G League and should continue to feature highly in the team's Summer League squad.

Ford recorded 32 points (10-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-115 win over the Capitanes.

EDGE Analysis

Stockton needed all of Ford's season-high 32 points to come away with the victory last year. He has led the team in assists in three straight games.
