The New Orleans Pelicans officially announced on Tuesday that they have waived Sindarius Thornwell.
Thornwell, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, has been with the Pelicans since last season after a two-year stint with the Los Angeles Clippers. Whereas Thornwell played over 135 games in Los Angeles, he barely featured in New Orleans. This year, he appeared in 11 games, averaging less than five minutes per contest.
The decision to waive Thornwell will not matter on the floor for the Pelicans.
