Cook provided 22 points (10-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three assists and one rebound over 28 minutes in Saturday's 123-101 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Fresh off signing a two-year contract earlier in the day, Cook posted a career-high point total and led the Pelicans in scoring on Saturday. The 24-year-old guard has shot 14-for-22 over the last two games, and he should see plenty of playing time over the last two games of the season as part of the backcourt rotation.

Cook and the Pelicans agreed to a two-year deal on Saturday, Chris Haynes of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook tore up the D-League for much of the season before spending time with both the Mavericks and Pelicans. While Cook has only averaged 6.0 minutes per game through five appearances for the Pels, the team has apparently been impressed, and Cook's new contract will now bind him to the team through the remainder of this season, as well as the 2017-18 campaign. It's quite possible that the deal is not fully guaranteed for next season, though the Pelicans have not yet released the terms of the agreement.

Cook will sign a second 10-day contract with the Pelicans, Chris Haynes of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook has only seen the floor in three of the Pelicans' past five contests since joining the team on a 10-day deal. But, he's seemingly impressed the coaches enough to warrant a second look at him. He's totaled three points, two assists, one rebound and one steal across eight minutes during his time in New Orleans, spending most of his time on the bench due to his place on the depth chart behind the likes of Jrue Holiday and Tim Frazier.

Cook signed a 10-day contract with the Pelicans on Saturday, Marc Stein of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook previously had signed a 10-day deal with the Mavericks, which expired March 8, and averaged 5.4 points and 2.4 assists while hitting 44 percent of his attempts from the field and 35.7 percent of his three-point attempts across 15.4 minutes per game over that stretch. He'll look to provide a outside scoring threat for the Pelicans moving forward.

Cook will return to the D-League following the expiration of his 10-day contract with the Mavericks, Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook spent nearly three weeks with the Mavs while on a pair of 10-day contracts, gaining his first regular season experience at the NBA level. The former Duke standout saw time in five games, averaging 5.4 points and 2.4 assists while shooting 36 percent from three in 15.4 minutes per game. Cook will now return to the Canton Charge for the time being in hopes of securing another 10-day contract elsewhere.

Cook has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Mavericks, Marc Stein of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old point guard has not played in an NBA regular-season game this season, though he managed to record a 20 point, eight assist outing with the Pelicans this preseason. With the Mavericks waiving Deron Williams on Thursday and J.J. Barea (calf) out likely until sometime in early March, the team seems interested in bolstering their young backcourt options.

Cook was waived by the Pelicans on Saturday, Justin Verrier of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook had one nice game for New Orleans in the preseason, recording 20 points and eight assists against the Rockets, but ultimately doesn't fit the Pelicans' roster where they need the help. Cook will likely spend another season in the D-League and hope for a chance with another NBA team.

Cook recorded 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, one rebound and one block across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 116-104 preseason loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Cook saw some expanded playing time in the contest with E'Twaun Moore (heel) exiting early and Tyreke Evans (knee), Jrue Holiday (personal) and Quincy Pondexter (knee) also missing from the backcourt, but this performance is little more than a flash in the pan. While the former Duke standout thrived in the D-League last season, he's attending Pelicans training camp on a non-guaranteed contract, which severely limits his chances of making the 15-man roster.

Cook signed a contract with the Pelicans on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
After going undrafted in the 2015 NBA Draft a year ago, Cook joined the Cavaliers for training camp, but was unable to crack the team's final roster. Instead, he spent the year developing in the NBA D-League with the Canton Charge, where he went on to be named the 2015-16 NBA Development League Rookie of the Year award with averages of 19.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals over 33.8 minutes per game. He'll now join the Pelicans on what is likely a non-guaranteed training camp deal and currently faces long odds on making the team's final roster.

Cook will be released by the Cavaliers, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook, an undrafted rookie out of Duke, had a decent training camp with the Cavaliers, but was beaten out by Jared Cunningham for the final spot on the roster. If Cook clears waivers, he could play on the Cavaliers' NBDL team, the Canton Charge.
