What happened: New Orleans plans to waive Gibson after the deal. He arrived in a larger transaction that sent two players and two future second-round assets out.
Why it matters: A waiver would clear a roster spot ahead of 2026-27. The Pelicans are less than a month from preseason.
By the numbers: Gibson averaged 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 9.7 minutes across 10 games in 2025-26.
What to watch: Attention turns to whether Gibson finds another team before training camp.
