Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Struggles with shot Wednesday
Boston provided eight points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to the Thunder.Boston scored in double digits in five games in a row amid a stretch in which he got promoted to the starting lineup due to the rash of injuries the New Orleans Pelicans are going through. However, he's struggled massively with his shot over his last two contests, scoring a combined 15 points while going 6-for-23 from the field in that span. He's done enough to remain valuable in fantasy due to his contributions in other categories, however, as he's tallied 17 boards, 14 assists and five steals in that two-game stretch as well. That said, he needs to improve his scoring figures because he'll remain with a prominent role in the Pelicans' offensive scheme as long as they stay as depleted as they are right now.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Shines in first start of season
Boston finished with 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to Portland.Boston got the start Monday for a depleted New Orleans Pelicans team and responded by posting his best game of the campaign. Don't be surprised if Boston, who has now scored in double digits in three straight outings, remains in the starting lineup if the Pelicans don't get Jordan Hawkins (back), Zion Williamson (thigh/hamstring) or Trey Murphy (hamstring) back soon. Herbert Jones (shoulder), CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) all remain out for multiple weeks.

Spurs' Brandon Boston: Joins San Antonio for camp
Boston signed with the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.Boston became an unrestricted free agent after the Clippers didn't tender him a $2.48 million qualifying offer at the end of June. After appearing in 51 regular-season games as a rookie in 2021, Boston saw a reduced role in his subsequent two campaigns with the Clippers. Entering his age-23 season, Boston is still a young prospect with room to grow, but he'll have an uphill battle to make the Spurs' initial regular-season roster.
