Free agent point guard Isaiah Thomas is expected to sign a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday, multiple outlets reported.

The two-time All-Star last played on Feb. 3, 2020 with the Washington Wizards. He was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers on Feb. 6, 2020 and released three days later.

Thomas, 32, averaged 12.2 points and 3.7 assists in 40 games (37 starts) with the Wizards in 2019-20.

Last May, he underwent a resurfacing surgery on his right hip to prepare for the 2020-21 season.
