Lazar Hayward News: Hayward was waived by the Pelicans Sunday, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Hayward was waived by the Pelicans Sunday, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Hayward never appeared likely to make the Pelicans' roster, and an unfortunate respiratory infection in training camp sealed that outcome for the former Marquette standout, who saw action with the Rockets and Wolves last season. He may return to the D-League or sign a contract overseas in hopes of returning to an NBA roster in the future.
