Josh Smith will reportedly sign with the Pelicans
Josh Smith plans to sign with the New Orleans Pelicans under an injury hardship exception, per The Vertical's Shams Charania.
Smith's signing news comes after Anthony Davis was forced out of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a knee injury. This move does not necessarily mean Davis will miss time and Smith, who did not play in the NBA last season, is not a lock to actually see any playing time.
In 2016 with the Houston Rockets, Smith averaged 6.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.3 minutes per game.
