Joining Pelicans for Summer League The Pelicans added Ford to their Summer League roster on Friday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

With Sacramento in Summer League Ford (hip) suited up for the Kings in games Saturday and Sunday in the California Classic Summer League, totaling 39 points, six assists, six rebounds and three steals between wins...

Impact While playing under a two-way deal with Sacramento in 2023-24, Ford made just six appearances at the NBA level and was sidelined for the G League Stockton Kings' final game of the season due to a hip injury. He looks to be back to full health while playing for the Kings in the Summer League, but the 26-year-old guard isn't currently under contract heading into the 2024-25 season. The Kings declined his $1.87 million qualifying offer June 29, making Ford an unrestricted free agent.

Omitted from injury report Ford (hip) isn't listed on Sacramento's injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Ford appears to have moved past a hip injury he suffered toward the end of the G League campaign. However, the two-way guard isn't guaranteed to see playing time at the NBA level.

Won't play Thursday Ford (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Ford recently missed the G League Western Conference Finals with this same injury, so his absence is not surprising. He will have two chances left to play before the end of the regular season, against the Suns on Friday and the Trail Blazers on Sunday, but even if he's deemed healthy, he's not expected to see regular minutes in head coach Mike Brown's rotation.

Deemed questionable Ford (right hip soreness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact With the G League season over, Ford will be with Sacramento to serve out the NBA portion of his two-way contract. However, he's brought a hip injury over from the G League and could be unavailable Thursday. He's not expected to be part of the rotation even when healthy.

Highly efficient in G League win Ford supplied 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 32 minutes in Stockton's 123-93 G League win over Mexico City on Friday.

Impact Ford was one point away from sharing the team lead in scoring with Kessler Edwards and snapped a brief downturn where he'd put up 10 points or fewer in three straight games. The St. Mary's College product has put together some breakout offensive efforts this season, but he's also been prone to the occasional single-digit point tally.
