Jordan Crawford will return to the NBA for the first time since the 2013-14 season after signing a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.

Crawford, 28, has spent the past two-plus seasons playing in China and in the D-League, most recently for the Grand Rapids Drive.

The former No. 27 overall pick in 2010 after a standout college career at Xavier, Crawford spent four seasons in the NBA split among the Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors.

Veteran point guard Jarrett Jack recently signed a 10-day contract with the Pelicans but was not retained after suffering a torn lateral meniscus in his surgically repaired right knee.

The Pelicans also signed starting shooting guard Hollis Thompson to a second 10-day contract ahead of Sunday's 105-97 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Crawford is available to play in the Pelicans' matchup Monday in Utah with the Jazz.
