ESPN's Shams Charania reported that free agent guard Bryce McGowens has agreed on a two-way NBA deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 22-year-old was the 40th overall pick by the Charlotte Hornets back in 2022, and most recently played for the Portland Trail Blazers.
With this addition, the Pelicans have now used up their third and final two-way contract spot, as McGowens will join Hunter Dickinson and Trey Alexander.
McGowens is a 6'6" guard who can also play some forward. He has good ball skills and a natural scoring ability. He spent most of last season playing for the Trail Blazers' G-League affiliate, the Rip City Remix.
