SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Former South Dakota State University basketball standout Nate Wolters has signed a 10-day contract with the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans.
The team announced the move Wednesday and said he would be available for that night’s game in Detroit. He will wear No. 4.
Wolters became an unrestricted free agent guard when he was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks last week. Terms of his deal with the Pelicans were not disclosed.
The 6-foot-4, 190-pound Wolters was the 38th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards. His rights were dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers and then to the Bucks. He appeared in 69 games with Milwaukee.
Wolters is averaging about 6 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds per game in his NBA career.
