The New Orleans Pelicans are showing interest in LA Clippers restricted free agent guard Bennedict Mathurin. Another mystery suitor has also shown interest in Mathurin.

With the Pelicans well above the salary cap, Mathurin's potential path to New Orleans would have to be via sign-and-trade. The Pelicans could also explore salary-shedding trades to open up the full Non-Taxpayer MLE to offer the four-year veteran.

Mathurin spent the first three-and-a-half seasons of his career with the Indiana Pacers before being traded to the Clippers ahead of last season's trade deadline. The 6-foot-5 guard has averaged 16.2 points and 4.7 rebounds for his career.
