Malcolm Hill: Cut by New Orleans
The Pelicans waived Hill on Monday.
Hill was entering his second season on a two-way contract with the Pelicans, but New Orleans will part ways with the forward in order to open up a spot for another player. The 28-year-old didn't see any action with the Pelicans after signing a 10-day deal in January and then a two-way deal in February, but he made a total of 24 NBA appearances between the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons with the Hawks and Bulls.

Pelicans' Malcolm Hill: Scores double-digit points in loss
Hill had 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and one rebound across nine minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason loss to the Heat.
Hill amassed the second-highest mark in points on the Pelicans behind only Zion Williamson (13). Hill hasn't seen the court in a regular-season game since the 2022-23 season, during which he averaged only 1.0 points across 1.8 minutes per game over five appearances with Chicago. The 28-year-old is operating under a two-way contract and will likely spend most of his time with the club's G League affiliate -- the Birmingham Squadron -- though his preseason play bodes well for a potential NBA call-up during the regular season.

The Pelicans transferred Hill from the G League's Birmingham Squadron to the NBA squad on Saturday.

Pelicans' Malcolm Hill: Gets two-way deal from New Orleans
Hill agreed Wednesday with the Pelicans on a two-way contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Hill had already joined New Orleans on a 10-day deal in January, though he didn't appear in any contests before his contract expired. The 28-year-old will now get some longer-term security with the Pelicans as one of the organization's three two-way players alongside Dereon Seabron and Matt Ryan. While seeing all of his game action this season with the Pelicans' G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron, Hill has averaged 22.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 three-pointers, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.9 minutes per game over 33 appearances while shooting 47.7 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from three-point range and 88.4 percent from the free-throw line.

Malcolm Hill: Loses roster spot
The Pelicans didn't re-sign Hill after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
New Orleans has yet to fill the opening on the 15-man roster, but if the Pelicans don't take on any new players ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, the team is expected to sign 2022 second-round pick Karlo Matkovic to replace Hill. After inking a 10-day deal with New Orleans on Jan. 27, Hill didn't make any appearances for the NBA club. Hill is expected to remain in the New Orleans organization and stick around with the G League's Birmingham Squadron, with whom he had been playing before inking the 10-day deal. He's averaging 21.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 35.0 minutes per game over 30 appearances for the Squadron this season.

Pelicans' Malcolm Hill: Assigned to G League
The New Orleans Pelicans have assigned Hill to the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Thursday.
While Hill has still not appeared in a game for the Pelicans yet this season, he will likely reclaim his spot as a major contributor for the Squadron. His elevated play throughout the month of January (headlined with a 44-point performance Jan. 20) may also keep him on standby should the Pelicans desire wing depth in the future.

Pelicans' Malcolm Hill: Available Wednesday
Hill doesn't appear on the Pelicans' injury report for Wednesday's game in Houston.
Hill missed the G League Birmingham Squadron's 120-107 loss to the Wisconsin Herd last Wednesday due to an unspecified reason, but he signed a 10-day deal with the Pelicans a day later and has since been with the NBA team. He has yet to make his Pelicans debut, but Hill could get some minutes Wednesday against the Rockets with two rotation players in Zion Williamson (foot) and Herbert Jones (adductor) listed as questionable for the contest.

Pelicans' Malcolm Hill: Joins New Orleans on 10-day deal
Hill agreed to a 10-day contract with New Orleans on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The Pelicans have already gotten a close-up look at Hill, who attended training camp with the club and has spent the 2023-24 season with their G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. Hill had been running hot of late for the Squadron, dropping 30 or more points in each of his last three outings while averaging 21.3 points (on 46.4 percent shooting from the field), 6.6 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.4 minutes per game over 27 appearances overall. Hill will presumably join the NBA team rather than the G League club for the next week and a half, though he'll likely have difficulty carving out a rotational role with the Pelicans.

Malcolm Hill: Pelicans waive him
The Pelicans waived Hill on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac reports.
Hill is among several players that New Orleans waived before Saturday's deadline, and if he goes through waivers unclaimed, then he'd have to report to the franchise's G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. The Pelicans signed Hill to a training camp deal on Oct. 1, but ultimately, he didn't show enough in the preseason to earn a roster ahead of Opening Night next week.

Malcolm Hill: Waived by Chicago
The Bulls waived Hill on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Hill joined the Bulls on a 10-day contract last year and ultimately stuck with Chicago the rest of the season on a two-way deal. He inked another two-way contract ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, but he's appeared in just five NBA contests, averaging 1.0 points and 0.6 rebounds in 1.8 minutes. In a corresponding move, the Bulls signed Terry Taylor to a two-way deal.

Bulls' Malcolm Hill: Effective from deep Thursday
Hill supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes in Windy City's 116-112 win over Santa Cruz on Thursday.
Hill produced a double-digit point tally for the fourth time in five games while draining a season-high four threes. The 27-year-old has been effective as a scorer, rebounder and defender, as he's also recorded double-digit boards on two occasions and multiple steals in three contests.

Bulls' Malcolm Hill: Efficient in Friday's win
Hill managed 18 points (6-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 35 minutes in Windy City's 144-133 win over the Herd on Friday.
Hill checked in third in scoring on the night for the Bulls while posting his third double-digit point tally in four games this season. The 27-year-old forward's 54.5 percent shooting was a season high as well, but his pair of boards did represent his lowest figure in that category thus far on the campaign.

Bulls' Malcolm Hill: Trouble shooting Wednesday
Hill produced 18 points (5-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and three steals in 38 minutes in Wednesday's 124-109 win in Capital City.
Hill struggled from the field throughout Wednesday's contest but had particular difficulties in the second half, missing six of seven shot attempts and all three of his tries from beyond the arc. He is just 10-for-31 shooting since returning to Windy City last week.

Bulls' Malcolm Hill: Back with Windy City
Hill amassed 19 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 105-96 loss to the Charge.
Hill made his first regular-season appearance for Windy City on Saturday, and it was his first game at any level since Dec. 20. He spent the last three weeks with Chicago but failed to make an appearance during that 13-game span. He's tallied 68 seconds of playing time in three appearances for Chicago on the year, and the return to Windy City should provide some extended playing time for the 27-year-old.
