The Pelicans won't re-sign James after his 10-day contract expired Wednesday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

James signed a 10-day hardship deal with the Pelicans on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James spent the past two seasons in Sacramento before being cut loose in August. After brief stints in training camp with Utah and Cleveland, he opened the season in the G League with the Cavaliers' affiliate, the Cleveland Charge. In 14 games in the G League, James averaged 17.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 minutes per contest. He'll provide the Pelicans with some depth on the wing in the short term with Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Kira Lewis (knee) out for the season and Didi Louzada serving a suspension.

James totaled 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and an assist in 21 minutes during Tuesday's G League win over Iowa.

James scored in double figures off the bench in Tuesday's matchup against Fort Wayne, and he took on a starting role in the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday. Following his season-high scoring total Wednesday, James is now averaging 18.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 29.7 minutes per game this year.

James posted 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and a block in 29 minutes during Tuesday's G League loss to the Mad Ants.

EDGE Analysis

James has been a consistent contributor for the Charge early in the season, but Tuesday's performance marked the second time this season that he shot under 50 percent from the floor. Across the first five games of the year, James has averaged 16.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per contest.

James compiled 19 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's G League loss to the Cruise.

EDGE Analysis

James was one of two starters to not top 30 minutes for the Charge, but he shot 72.7 percent from the floor during the blowout loss to Motor City. The 24-year-old appeared in 36 games with the Kings last year and averaged 3.9 points in 8.6 minutes per contest.

James was waived by the Cavaliers on Saturday, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

James appeared in one preseason game and totaled five points, three rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes. He could land in the G League.

James signed a training camp contract with the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Kelsey Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James was let go by Sacramento in mid-August, but he'll join the Cavaliers with a week remaining until the regular season. If he's unable to land a spot on the final roster, the 24-year-old will likely begin the year in the G League.

James was released by the Kings on Sunday, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James' salary with the Kings was set to be guaranteed for the season unless he was cut before Sunday's deadline. The 24-year-old played for the Kings over the last two seasons but only saw 7.6 minutes per game. In his final season with Sacramento, James averaged 3.9 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 36 appearances. The guard will look to sign with a team in need of backcourt depth.
