Shams Charania from The Athletic is reporting the New Orleans Pelicans have traded forward Wesley Johnson to the Wizards in exchange for Markieff Morris. The Pelicans will also receive the Wizards 2023 second round pick as well. The trade will have to be approved by the league office before becoming official.
Johnson, who himself was traded to the Pelicans back in October from the Los Angeles Clippers, has played sparingly in his brief stint in New Orleans. He was only averaging 3.7 points per game and 2 rebounds in the limited action he did see.
