2025 Projections
Signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Pelicans in March of 2025. 
Being waived by New Orleans
The Pelicans intend to waive Quinones, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Quinones had initially landed a two-way contract with New Orleans in March and also participated in the Summer League, but he'll now search elsewhere for a home ahead of the 2025-26 season. The 24-year-old swingman averaged 21.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game over 41 outings with the Birmingham Squadron and Delaware Blue Coats in the G League last year, which could give some appeal on the open market prior to training camp this fall.
