HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports Julian Reese is signing a two-way contract with the Pelicans.

Reese was productive last year for the Wizards after going undrafted, but he was traded to Denver, who waived him immediately after, in August to help facilitate that Peyton Watson trade. Reese will now get a chance in New Orleans, though he likely won’t see the minutes he saw late last season in Washington.

Julian Reese has been waived after being traded to the Nuggets.

Reese was added in to facilitate the Peyton Watson trade to Cleveland, though Denver had no intention to keep him around. Reese ended last season on a two-way deal with Washington and will look to find a new home for next season.

Anthony Gill (back, head) is available for Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Gill is good to go for Sunday’s season finale after being injured during Friday’s loss to the Heat. While he has started games recently, Julian Reese has been the more productive option, as the rookie has played more minutes.

Anthony Gill (back, head) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.

In addition to his back injury, Gill took a shot to the head during Friday’s loss to the Heat. While the veteran forward/center was not officially ruled out at the time, he’s dealing with a headache, so Gill is on the injury report. Julian Reese has been productive recently and is worth rostering in active fantasy leagues, regardless of Gill’s availability.

Julian Reese finished Thursday’s loss to the Bulls with 16 points (5-of-14 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot.

When allowed to play significant minutes, Reese has consistently played well enough to earn a longer look from the Wizards in the summer. He recorded another double-double on Thursday, his third in as many games and fifth since being signed to a two-way deal. The Wizards have two more games this season, and Reese can be valuable to managers in active fantasy leagues.

Anthony Gill (back) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Bulls.

Gill started Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, but a cervical lumbar contusion limited him to 16 minutes. Julian Reese, who also started on Tuesday, logged 36 minutes. He may have to take on an even heavier workload, as the Wizards remain without Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukčević.

Julian Reese had 17 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls.

Reese had another excellent game with a very similar stat line to his game against the Nets on Sunday. The 22-year-old rookie power forward filled up the box scored in his 36 minutes on the floor. Reese has made it clear that he’ll be a fantasy asset whenever he starts.

Justin Champagnie (knee) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Tuesday.

Champagnie could miss a second straight game, which would likely allow Julian Reese to get another start at center, with Anthony Gill playing the power forward minutes. Both players played over 40 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Nets.
