Terrence Jones

Pelicans expected to release Terrence Jones

The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to waive forward Terrence Jones, according to Justin Verrier of ESPN.com.

What It Means:

The Pelicans were unable to find a trade partner for Jones, but there will be plenty of teams interested in his services if he hits the open market post-deadline. Depending on where he winds up, Jones could maintain standard-league fantasy value for the remainder of the season.

Jones is averaging 11.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per game this season. His -0.6 nERD is currently tied for 270th in the NBA.
