Pelicans' Trey Alexander: Plays 21 minutes in season debut
Rotowire
Alexander chipped in seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Lakers.
Alexander has spent the majority of his time this season with the Birmingham Squadron of the G League, but he was called up to the parent club due to the slew of injuries that the Pelicans are dealing with. In his season debut, he dropped seven points and drilled his only three-point attempt, showing his ability to produce, and he may be called upon again in the near future if Jordan Poole (quadriceps) and Jordan Hawkins (illness) remain out.

Nuggets' Trey Alexander: Inks two-way with Denver
Rotowire
Alexander was signed to a two-way contract by the Nuggets following Thursday's second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
The junior out of Creighton is a guard who likes to operate in pick-and-roll and navigate for mid-range jumpers. He needs to improve at the rim and from three, though, and he's not an especially good defender. Alexander will hope to develop with some time in the G League.
