Daniel Theis has agreed to sign with the New Orleans Pelicans on a one-year, $3 million deal. Theis finished last season with the Los Angeles Clippers following his trade from the Indiana Pacers. In 69 games with the Clippers, Theis averaged 6.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.9 minutes.
The Pelicans entered the offseason with a need at center as they had anticipated losing Jonas Valanciunas in free agency.
Theis is represented by Aaron Mintz and Steven Heumann.
