Lester Quinones

The Magic and Lester Quiñones have agreed to a deal.

Fantasy Impact

Quiñones was most recently waived by the Pelicans in July. He'll remain off the fantasy radar.

The New Orleans Pelicans waived Lester Quinones on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

After signing a two-way contract with the Pelicans in March, Quinones is now seeking a new opportunity. He played just nine games for the Pelicans last season, while averaging 21.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 41 G League games split between the Birmingham Squadron and Delaware Blue Coats. He'll likely draw interest on the open market.

Lester Quinones put up 21 points (8-22 FG, 2-11 3PT, 3-4 FT) to go with six assists and five steals in Thursday's 136-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

The Pelicans were missing a number of key players on Thursday, which allowed Quinones to see enough work to end as the leading scorer for the Pelicans. He is an inconsistent fantasy option right now but could be valuable over the last couple games of the season.

Lester Quinones scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 3PT, 1-1 FT) and dished out three assists in Sunday's 111-107 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

Quinones had his best game of the season on Sunday, scoring 17 points on great shooting splits while coming off of the bench. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to produce well on a game-to-game basis moving forward, especially with Jose Alvarado (calf) possibly making his return in the near future.

The Pelicans signed Lester Quinones to a 10-day contract.

Fantasy Impact

Quinones had been playing for the G League’s Birmingham Squadron. He will remain off the fantasy radar.
