Hill agreed Wednesday with the Pelicans on a two-way contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill had already joined New Orleans on a 10-day deal in January, though he didn't appear in any contests before his contract expired. The 28-year-old will now get some longer-term security with the Pelicans as one of the organization's three two-way players alongside Dereon Seabron and Matt Ryan. While seeing all of his game action this season with the Pelicans' G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron, Hill has averaged 22.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 three-pointers, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.9 minutes per game over 33 appearances while shooting 47.7 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from three-point range and 88.4 percent from the free-throw line.

The Pelicans didn't re-sign Hill after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
New Orleans has yet to fill the opening on the 15-man roster, but if the Pelicans don't take on any new players ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, the team is expected to sign 2022 second-round pick Karlo Matkovic to replace Hill. After inking a 10-day deal with New Orleans on Jan. 27, Hill didn't make any appearances for the NBA club. Hill is expected to remain in the New Orleans organization and stick around with the G League's Birmingham Squadron, with whom he had been playing before inking the 10-day deal. He's averaging 21.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 35.0 minutes per game over 30 appearances for the Squadron this season.

Hill doesn't appear on the Pelicans' injury report for Wednesday's game in Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Hill missed the G League Birmingham Squadron's 120-107 loss to the Wisconsin Herd last Wednesday due to an unspecified reason, but he signed a 10-day deal with the Pelicans a day later and has since been with the NBA team. He has yet to make his Pelicans debut, but Hill could get some minutes Wednesday against the Rockets with two rotation players in Zion Williamson (foot) and Herbert Jones (adductor) listed as questionable for the contest.

Hill agreed to a 10-day contract with New Orleans on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill has been nearly unstoppable while playing for the G League's Birmingham Squadron of late, dropping 30 or more points in each of his last three matchups, and his recent play has earned him a shot in the NBA. His last action in the NBA dates back to the 2022 season with the Chicago, when he averaged 10.0 points in five appearances.

The Pelicans waived Hill on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hill is among several players that New Orleans waived before Saturday's deadline, and if he goes through waivers unclaimed, then he'd have to report to the franchise's G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. The Pelicans signed Hill to a training camp deal on Oct. 1, but ultimately, he didn't show enough in the preseason to earn a roster ahead of Opening Night next week.

The Pelicans signed Hill to a training camp contract Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
