The New Orleans Pelicans have transitioned Bryce McGowens from a two-way contract to a full-time NBA deal after he appeared in 32 games this season. This change followed a roster adjustment made when the team traded point guard Jose Alvarado, creating a permanent spot for the 23-year-old shooting guard.
Performance and Contract Details of McGowens
McGowens is currently shooting an efficient 48 percent from the field while averaging 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. ESPN confirms that the New Orleans Pelicans have signed him to a three-year contract. This marks a significant step in McGowens’s career, now in his fourth year in the NBA since being drafted 40th overall by Minnesota in 2022 after his collegiate career at Nebraska.
A Promising Career After G-League Scoring Success
Before this contract upgrade, McGowens was the leading scorer in the G-League during the 2024-25 season, illustrating his potential to contribute at the NBA level. Signed initially as a two-way player by New Orleans in the offseason, McGowens appears to have established a more permanent position with the Pelicans.
