NEW ORLEANS (AP) A person familiar with the negotiations says the New Orleans Pelicans and former New York Knicks guard Langston Galloway have agreed to terms on a two-year contract.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet official, although Galloway, a Louisiana native, effectively confirmed his decision on his verified Twitter account Wednesday night, writing: ''I'm coming home (hash)neworleanspelicans.''

The 24-year-old Galloway averaged 7.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in about 25 minutes per game for the Knicks last season.

Undrafted out of St. Joseph's, the 6-foot-2 Galloway joined New York as a rookie during the 2014-15 season. A restricted free agent to start this offseason, he became available when the Knicks rescinded their qualifying offer.
