The New Orleans Pelicans have recalled a pair of two-way players from their G League affiliate.
Zylan Cheatham and Josh Gray have been called up from the Erie BayHawks to join the Pelicans.
They are on two-way contracts, which dictates a player can spend up to 45 days with the NBA team and the rest of the season in the G League.
In 34 G League games, Cheatham is averaging 16.3 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 32.5 minutes per game.
The rookie out of Arizona State has appeared in three Pelicans games, during which he averages 1.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in about 10 minutes per game.
Gray is averaging 22.5 points, 6.9 assists and 5.3 rebounds in 36 minutes per game with the BayHawks.
He played six games for the Phoenix Suns in 2017-18 and has played two for the Pelicans this season.
New Orleans, with a record of 28-36, is 3.5 games back from the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
The Pelicans hope to get their third win in a row Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. Tipoff is at 9:30 p.m. at the Kings’ Golden 1 Center.
