Grabs five boards in finale
Kelley ended Sunday's 115-100 loss to the Thunder with three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes.
Analysis
Kelley received limited playing time during his third appearance with the Pelicans, averaging 3.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 19.7 minutes per contest in that three-game span. The big man ended the campaign by signing two 10-day deals with New Orleans, though he also spent time with Dallas on a two-way contract before being waived in March. Kelley began the season with the G League's South Bay Lakers and will likely seek a two-way deal ahead of the 2025-26 season. The undrafted rookie finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 3.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 11.5 minutes per game in 11 regular-season appearances with New Orleans and Dallas.

Signs second 10-day contract
Kelley signed a second 10-day contract with the Pelicans on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Analysis
Kelley made two appearances under his first 10-day deal, averaging 3.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 22.0 minutes. He'll be available for the regular-season finale against the Thunder on Sunday after signing another deal, but he's not in the starting lineup after starting Friday's 153-104 loss to Miami.

Starting Friday
Kelley is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Heat on Friday.
Analysis
Kelley will make his first start with the Pelicans (and second of his NBA career) as New Orleans deals with multiple injuries to its big-man rotation. He made his Pelicans debut Thursday after signing a 10-day contract April 3, and he finished with two points, seven rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes in a loss to the Bucks.
