Pelicans waive Terrence Jones

The New Orleans Pelicans have waived power forward Terrence Jones, the team announced Thursday.

New Orleans used its open roster spot to officially sign shooting guard Hollis Thompson to a 10-day contract.

The Pelicans had reportedly attempted to find a trade partner for Jones after landing All-Star big man DeMarcus Cousins from the Sacramento Kings, but failed to find a suitable deal prior to Thursday's deadline.

Jones is in the midst of a solid season, averaging 11.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and one block in 51 games for the Pelicans.
