Miye Oni: Not retained by New Orleans

The Pelicans didn't re-sign Oni after his 10-day contract expired Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Both Oni and Zylan Cheatham won't be retained after the two joined the Pelicans on 10-day hardship exemption deals when Willy Hernangomez and Garrett Temple were in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Hernangomez and Temple have since cleared the protocols and returned to action, leaving Oni and Cheatham ineligible to play for the Pelicans. Oni didn't make any appearances for the Pelicans during his week-and-a-half-long stint with the team.
