Pelicans waive Matt Ryan

The New Orleans Pelicans have waived forward Matt Ryan, the team announced on Saturday.

Ryan, 27, appeared in 28 games (one start) for New Orleans during the 2023-24 season, averaging 5.4 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting .451 from three-point range.

In April, the Pelicans converted Ryan’s two-way contract to a standard NBA contract. Ryan’s two-way contract was awarded to New Orleans off waivers on October 22, 2023, 

Over three seasons, the 6-7 forward has played in 63 career games with New Orleans, Minnesota, the Los Angeles Lakers, and Boston. 

Ryan averaged career-highs in points last season, and he can shoot, so he should be able to catch on with another team next season.
