The free-agent center has agreed
to a deal with the Pelicans, ESPN reported Wednesday, citing league sources.
According to The Athletic, the
deal is for two years, with the first year partially guaranteed and the second
year providing a team option.
The two sides had been in
discussions regarding a training camp contract after Okafor worked out for four
NBA teams in Las Vegas last month and drew interest from teams in the Chinese
Basketball Association.
Okafor, 22, was selected out of
Duke by the 76ers with the No. 3 overall pick of the 2015 draft. He averaged
17.5 points as a rookie, though his production dropped off over the next two
seasons and he was traded to the Nets in early December.
He averaged 12.6 minutes and 6.3
points in 28 games with the 76ers and Nets last season.
