Keion Brooks Jr. has signed a two-way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, stepping into a critical role as the team grapples with significant injuries to key players like Zion Williamson and Dejounte Murray. The 6-foot-7 forward, who averaged 18 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in the G League, is poised to make an impact at the NBA level after going undrafted this summer. His contract allows him to alternate between the Pelicans and the G League, providing flexibility for both him and the team as they navigate a challenging season.
