Report: Pelicans to waive Omri Casspi, sign Reggie Williams

The New Orleans Pelicans are waiving small forward Omri Casspi and signing small forward Reggie Williams, league sources tell The Vertical's Shams Charania.

The move comes just a day after reports indicated that Casspi would miss the next four-to-six weeks with a broken thumb.

Casspi played in just one game for New Orleans after coming over in a trade with DeMarcus Cousins, collecting 12 points and two rebounds in Thursday's defeat to the Houston Rockets. The 6-foot-9 forward is averaging 6.1 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists this season.

Williams appeared in five games for New Orleans earlier this season, averaging 5 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.8 assists on 35 percent shooting.
