Watford Stays in NBA, Joins Pelicans | Philadelphia 76ers News

Trendon Watford, the undrafted forward who spent last season with the Philadelphia 76ers, has officially signed a one-year, $2.9M deal with the New Orleans Pelicans — shutting down earlier rumors of an overseas move to Valencia Basket. After the Sixers declined his team option, Watford waited for the right fit and landed a better contract with a Pelicans team aiming to make noise. He’ll get a chance to face Philly twice this season — first in New Orleans in late January, then back in Philly in early February.
