Pelicans waive Toney Douglas

The New Orleans Pelicans have released point guard Toney Douglas, the team announced Wednesday.

The Pelicans faced a crowded backcourt with Tim Frazier, Langston Galloway, E'Twaun Moore, and Buddy Hield added to the roster this summer, forcing them to part with the 30-year-old point guard.

Douglas appeared in 61 games for the Pelicans this past season, averaging 8.7 points, 2.6 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals on 41.1 percent shooting, including 39.9 percent from beyond the arc.

The Georgia native is a 36 percent 3-point shooter in his career, and could be a solid option for any team looking to deepen their backcourt.
