The Pelicans waived Dickinson on Tuesday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.
Dickinson went undrafted in 2025 and spent the 2025-26 campaign on a two-way deal with the Pelicans. He signed another two-way pact with the team in July, though he's now set to explore other opportunities if he clears waivers. The big man spent most of his rookie season in the G League, averaging 2.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 8.4 minutes per tilt across five regular-season appearances with the parent club.

Pelicans' Hunter Dickinson: Notches 12 points
Rotowire
Dickinson logged 12 points (6-9 FG), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes of Thursday's 132-125 preseason loss to Orlando.
Kevon Looney is expected to miss two to three weeks due to a proximal tibiofibular ligament, potentially opening some minutes up in the frontcourt. Derik Queen is still rehabbing from wrist surgery, so Dickinson has a chance to enter the rotation behind Yves Missi. Dickinson would likely need to outplay Karlo Matkovic for that to happen, however.
