Ajinca signed a four-year, $20 million deal to remain with the Pelicans on Wednesday, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.

Analysis:

Ajinca will return to New Orleans to continue as the backup to Anthony Davis. Last season, Ajinca averaged 6.5 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 55.0 percent from the field in just over 14 minutes per game. He doesn't figure to develop into much more than a marginal fantasy option, though he's shown promise as a volume rebounder when given ample opportunity.
