Mon Sep 14 201514:59Douglas-Roberts signed two-year deal with Pelicans on Monday
Douglas-Roberts signed a two-year deal with the Pelicans on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
The journeyman has spent stints with several NBA teams since entering the league as as second-round pick in 2008, mostly recently appearing in 12 games for the Clippers last season. The 28-year-old was a meaningful contributor for the Mavs in 2013-14, averaging 6.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in nearly 21 minutes per game. While he's a crafty scorer and adequate defender, Douglas-Roberts struggles as an outside shooter (career 32.9 percent), making it difficult to keep him on the floor for long stretches in certain lineups. In New Orleans, Douglas-Roberts will compete with the likes of Luke Babbitt, Alonzo Gee and Quincy Pondexter for bench minutes on the wing. The details of Douglas-Roberts' contract are yet to be disclosed, but it's possible the contract is only partially guaranteed, which would make him a candidate to be waived at some point.

At this point, it's unlikely he plays Wednesday, but be sure to check back prior to the 7:00 ET PM tip.
Mon Dec 8 201414:13Douglas-Roberts (Achilles) without concrete return timetable
Douglas-Roberts (Achilles) is without a concrete return timetable, NBA.com reports. "Now we're just in the stage of getting back in the groove," Douglas-Roberts said. "I have to start doing 1-on-1s, 2-on-2s. It's hard to really practice that much because we're in season. So I have to kind of do this kind of stuff on my own where I'm testing it out and seeing exactly where I'm at as far as actually playing in a real game."
Douglas-Roberts has been able to work in practice on a limited basis but is still experiencing pain in his foot. He's progressed to lateral drills and individual work, but it appears he'll likely remain out until the soreness subsides. "I still feel it," Douglas-Roberts said. But (head athletic trainer Jasen Powell) told me it's healed now. You're going to feel a little soreness because you're just getting back. The good thing about that is I can play through the soreness, but I know I'm not regressing." The Memphis product has not played since Nov. 5.
