Waived by New Orleans Hill was waived by the Pelicans on Monday.

Scores double-digit points in loss Hill had 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and one rebound across nine minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason loss to the Heat.

Impact Hill amassed the second-highest mark in points on the Pelicans behind only Zion Williamson (13). Hill hasn't seen the court in a regular-season game since the 2022-23 season, during which he averaged only 1.0 points across 1.8 minutes per game over five regular-season appearances with Chicago. The 28-year-old is operating under a two-way contract and will likely spend most of his time with the club's G League affiliate -- the Birmingham Squadron -- though his play bodes well for a potential call-up to the NBA during the season.

Transferred to NBA club The Pelicans transferred Hill to the NBA club from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Monday, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Gets two-way deal from New Orleans Hill agreed Wednesday with the Pelicans on a two-way contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Hill had already joined New Orleans on a 10-day deal in January, though he didn't appear in any contests before his contract expired. The 28-year-old will now get some longer-term security with the Pelicans as one of the organization's three two-way players alongside Dereon Seabron and Matt Ryan. While seeing all of his game action this season with the Pelicans' G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron, Hill has averaged 22.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 three-pointers, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.9 minutes per game over 33 appearances while shooting 47.7 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from three-point range and 88.4 percent from the free-throw line.

Loses roster spot The Pelicans didn't re-sign Hill after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact New Orleans has yet to fill the opening on the 15-man roster, but if the Pelicans don't take on any new players ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, the team is expected to sign 2022 second-round pick Karlo Matkovic to replace Hill. After inking a 10-day deal with New Orleans on Jan. 27, Hill didn't make any appearances for the NBA club. Hill is expected to remain in the New Orleans organization and stick around with the G League's Birmingham Squadron, with whom he had been playing before inking the 10-day deal. He's averaging 21.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 35.0 minutes per game over 30 appearances for the Squadron this season.

Available Wednesday Hill doesn't appear on the Pelicans' injury report for Wednesday's game in Houston.

Impact Hill missed the G League Birmingham Squadron's 120-107 loss to the Wisconsin Herd last Wednesday due to an unspecified reason, but he signed a 10-day deal with the Pelicans a day later and has since been with the NBA team. He has yet to make his Pelicans debut, but Hill could get some minutes Wednesday against the Rockets with two rotation players in Zion Williamson (foot) and Herbert Jones (adductor) listed as questionable for the contest.

Inking 10-day deal with Pelicans Hill agreed to a 10-day contract with New Orleans on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Hill has been nearly unstoppable while playing for the G League's Birmingham Squadron of late, dropping 30 or more points in each of his last three matchups, and his recent play has earned him a shot in the NBA. His last action in the NBA dates back to the 2022 season with the Chicago, averaging 10 points in five appearances.

Pelicans waive him The Pelicans waived Hill on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac reports.

Impact Hill is among several players that New Orleans waived before Saturday's deadline, and if he goes through waivers unclaimed, then he'd have to report to the franchise's G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. The Pelicans signed Hill to a training camp deal on Oct. 1, but ultimately, he didn't show enough in the preseason to earn a roster ahead of Opening Night next week.

Inks deal with New Orleans The Pelicans signed Hill to a training camp contract Saturday.

Impact Hill made five NBA appearances for the Bulls in 2022-23, averaging 1.0 points and 0.6 rebounds in 1.8 minutes. He will likely join the Pelicans' G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron if he doesn't make the team's regular-season roster.

Back with Windy City Hill amassed 19 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes in Saturday's 105-96 loss to the Charge.

Impact Hill made his first appearance for Windy City of the regular season Saturday and it was his first game at any level since Dec. 20. He spent the last three weeks with Chicago but failed to make an appearance during that 13-game span. He's tallied 68 seconds of playing time in three appearances for Chicago on the year and the return to Windy City should provide some extended playing time for the 27-year-old.

Scores 20 points in win Hill compiled 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and a steal in 37 minutes in Saturday's 126-121 win over Iowa.

Impact It was Hill's first appearance in the G League this season after starting the season with Chicago. He tallied just 68 seconds of playing time for Chicago in three appearances through the season's first 12 games. The 27-year-old will likely play a significant role for Windy City as long as he's with the team.

Minimal role against the Pacers Hill ended with no counting stats in one minute during Wednesday's 124-109 win over Indiana.

Impact Although the Bulls won by 15 points Wednesday, Hill's role in the contest remained minimal. He's with the team on a two-way deal, so it seems likely that he'll wind up with the G League's Windy City Bulls at some point.

Clip and dip Hill posted eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over two minutes during Monday's 127-124 loss to Phoenix.

Impact After combining for 10 points across 41 minutes over his two previous games, Hill maximized his two minutes Monday, recording eight points in a game during which every bucket mattered. Hill has spent most of this season as a three-and-D wing in the G League, averaging 16.8 points on 40.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc. He is nonetheless unlikely to build a larger role in Chicago.

Snags two-way deal Hill agreed Monday with the Bulls on a two-way contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hill was already with the Bulls on a 10-day deal, but the organization will give him some more job security by awarding him one of its two two-way spots. Devon Dotson was waived to open up the spot for Hill, who is averaging 5.5 points and 1.8 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game between four appearances with Atlanta and Chicago this season.
