Glen Rice Jr. Joins Wizards from D-League
The Wizards have recalled rookie swingman Glen Rice Jr. after an impressive three-game stint in the NBA Development League with the Iowa Energy. He joined the team on Tuesday in Oakland, Calif., but will be inactive when the Wizards take on the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Rice was sent down the D-League for a rehabilitation assignment while recovering from a broken right wrist. Based on his production, Rice’s wrist appears to be fine as he averaged 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and two steals.
A team that is expected to be prominent in the trade market picture, rival teams expect: The New Orleans Pelicans. The franchise is off to an uneven 5-10 start to the season. New Orleans has been receiving calls about the availability of Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick and has shown an openness to discussing trades around both with interested teams, sources tell The Athletic. A move would create a clearer pathway for young guards Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis in the Pelicans’ rotation.
