Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Inks new deal

Robinson-Earl signed a standard two-year NBA contract with the Pelicans on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Robinson-Earl was previously operating under a two-way contract and made 21 appearances for the Pelicans, averaging 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game. Despite being upgraded to a standard deal, his role will likely remain limited as long as Jonas Valanciunas, Larry Nance and Cody Zeller (knee) are available.
