The New Orleans Pelicans are dealing with several injuries at point guard, and with the regular season quickly approaching, general manager Dell Demps has decided to add some reinforcements to the backcourt.

Former NBA executive Bobby Marks explained why the signing makes sense for the Pelicans, who recently announced Norris Cole will miss extended time after suffering a high ankle sprain:
With Holiday on a minutes restriction and Cole injured, there are major PG concerns for NOP.
