The New Orleans Pelicans and veteran center Cody Zeller agreed to a one-year, $3.1 million deal, his agent, Sam Goldfeder told ESPN on Sunday.
Contract agreements with free agents become official Thursday, per NBA rules.
Zeller, 30, will be with his third team in three seasons after playing his first eight campaigns with the Charlotte Hornets.
Zeller was signed as a free agent by the Miami Heat in February and averaged 6.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 15 games (two starts). Zeller played in 21 postseason games, averaging 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds, as the Heat reached the NBA Finals before falling to the Denver Nuggets.
During the 2021-22 season, he played 27 games off the bench for the Portland Trail Blazers.
Overall, Zeller has career averages of 8.4 points and 5.9 rebounds in 509 games (275 starts).
Zeller was the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft by Charlotte after being a college star at Indiana.
