The New Orleans Pelicans and forward Saddiq Bey agree to a three-year contract extension worth $55.5 million, according to reports cited by multiple outlets. ESPN reports the deal, while The Athletic also reports the agreement.
The extension follows Bey’s first full season with New Orleans after recovering from an ACL tear, with outlets pointing to his impact during his return. Across coverage, Bey’s performance is described as a career-best effort for the Pelicans, as he averages about 17.7 points per game and roughly 5.5 to 5.6 rebounds per game. One report notes he appears in 72 games, while another refers to his statistical line without emphasizing games played.
While the outlets broadly agree on the contract terms and the overall reason for the extension—Bey’s strong comeback and productivity—there are minor differences in wording and rebound totals (5.5 vs. 5.6) as well as whether games played is highlighted.
