The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to extend guard Quinn Cook to a 10-day contract, a league source confirmed on Saturday afternoon.
ESPN's Marc Stein was the first to report that Cook was signing with the Pelicans.
Cook, a 6-foot-2 point guard, will fill the roster spot left vacant by shooting guard Wayne Selden Jr., who left the Pelicans after the completion of his 10-day contract and agreed to a contract deal with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Cook, 23, was on the Pelicans' preseason roster before he was one of the final cuts before the regular season began in October. He performed well in the preseason, averaging 8.3 points and 2.7 assists in three games.
Last month, Cook was extended two 10-day contracts with the Dallas Mavericks before he was waived and went back to the NBA Development League with the Canton Charge.
In five games with the Mavericks, Cook averaged 5.4 points and 2.4 assists in 15.4 minutes per game.
Cook was a four-year player at Duke, helping the Blue Devils win the national championship in 2015. Cook went undrafted in the 2015 NBA Draft but emerged in the NBA Development Laague, earning the 2016 rookie of the year award.
