The New Orleans Pelicans have waived guard Elfrid Payton as they manage a luxury tax roster. This decision comes with key players returning, including Dejounte Murray.
Elfrid Payton averaged 6.7 points, 6.9 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game with the Pelicans, with a standout 14-point, 21-assist game against the Pacers.
At 30 years old, Payton has had a notable career including being first-team All-Rookie in 2015. His brief return to the Pelicans wasn't sufficient amid roster adjustments.
