Pelicans lock in Jeremiah Fears on multi-year deal

Sacramento signed wing Trhae Mitchell to a training camp contract, per Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. The 29-year-old went undrafted in 2020 and has spent most of his career in the G League, including last season with New Orleans' Birmingham Squadron.

The Lakers have reacquired the returning player rights to center Cheikh Mbacke Diong for their G League affiliate, the Coachella Valley Lakers, per the NBA G League Transaction Portal.

Melvin Council Jr. agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with New Orleans after going undrafted, but a preliminary injunction clears him to play a fifth college season instead.
