On August 27, Beijing time, according to Shams of the Register, the Pelicans have re-signed a revised one-year contract with shooter Matt Lane, who had cut Lane three days ago. In the 2023-24 season, Ryan played in 28 games for the Pelicans, averaging 5.4 points and 1.4 rebounds per game while shooting 45.1% from three-point range.

Ryan previously signed a three-year, $6.1 million contract with the Pelicans, which is non-guaranteed for the 2024-25 season. Now, Ryan's return to the Pelicans is also a good result.

For many fans, the 27-year-old Ryan's experience is very inspiring. Before joining the NBA, he used to deliver food, guard the cemetery, and now some fans call him the "graveyard shooter". In the 2021-22 season, Ryan played for the Celtics, but only made one appearance. In the 2023 Summer League, Ryan helped the Celtics hit a stunner with a broken foot.

The Lakers later signed Ryan, who had a classic three-point tie in the regular season. After leaving the Lakers, Ryan also played for the Timberwolves and Pelicans, and last season's highlight was a 20-point game against the Pistons, shooting 6-of-8 from three-point range.

With the Pelicans re-signing Ryan, the roster has become 15+2, and their regular roster is full with one two-way contract spot remaining. The details are as follows-

Regular lineup 15: Zion, Ingram, McCollum, Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Murphy III, Hawkins, Missy, Robinson Earle, Javonte Green, Theis, Alvarado, Matkovic, Antonio Reeves, Ryan

Two people on two-way contracts: Kane, Malcolm Hill
