Boston agreed to a two-way contract with the Pelicans on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Boston has made 105 NBA appearances over the last three seasons -- all with the Clippers. However, he'll likely spend most of his time in the G League this season, barring injuries in the New Orleans backcourt to Dejounte Murray (personal), CJ McCollum, Jose Alvarado and/or Trey Murphy.

Spurs' Brandon Boston: Joins San Antonio for camp
Rotowire
Boston signed with the Spurs on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Boston became an unrestricted free agent after the Clippers didn't tender him a $2.48 million qualifying offer at the end of June. After appearing in 51 regular-season games as a rookie in 2021, Boston saw a reduced role in his subsequent two campaigns with the Clippers. Entering his age-23 season, Boston is still a young prospect with room to grow, but he'll have an uphill battle to make the Spurs' initial regular-season roster.

Brandon Boston: Expected to enter free agency
Rotowire
The Clippers won't tender a $2.48 million qualifying offer to Boston on Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The No. 51 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Boston appeared in 51 regular-season contests as a rookie, but he didn't see his role expand in any of the subsequent two seasons. The 22-year-old ended up making just 32 appearances in 2023-24, averaging 5.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.3 steals across 10.8 minutes per contest. Boston is still young, and he will likely garner interest as a player who has potential as a rotational player moving forward.

Clippers' Brandon Boston: Rare appearance Friday
Rotowire
Boston finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in three minutes during Friday's 101-90 loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Boston played three minutes in garbage time, something the Clippers will be hoping doesn't repeat itself. Although the final score was relatively close, the Mavericks took control early in this one and now hold a 2-1 series lead over a Clippers team in need of a spark.

Clippers' Brandon Boston: Notches 15 points
Rotowire
Boston chipped in 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and four steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Rockets.
Boston didn't have the most efficient night, but he filled the stat sheet and recorded a career-high four steals. Boston saw extended minutes Sunday with most of the key players for Los Angeles resting, but he could potentially have a role in the playoffs if Kawhi Leonard (knee) can't shake his knee issue.

Clippers' Brandon Boston: Tallies season high off bench
Rotowire
Boston amassed 23 points (10-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 124-108 loss to the Suns.
Boston led all bench players in Wednesday's contest in scoring and rebounds while adding a pair of steals and setting a new season high in scoring in a losing effort. Boston posted his first game of the year with 20 or more points while notching his third outing with a double-digit point total. He also recorded a new season high in rebounds, ending with five or more boards for the second time.

Clippers' Brandon Boston: Sees rare minutes
Rotowire
Boston recorded five points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 18 minutes during Sunday's 124-117 loss to the Bucks.
The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, both of which were considered maintenance days on the second leg of the back-to-back set. Boston rarely sees the floor when the Clippers are at full strength, as he's averaged 7.4 minutes across 20 total appearances.

Clippers' Brandon Boston: Picks up slack sans George
Rotowire
Boston recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 27 minutes in Wednesday's 125-109 win over the Wizards.
Boston had been on the fringes of the head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation heading into Wednesday, but the third-year player ended up taking on an increased role after Paul George (groin) was ruled out for the contest. He acquitted himself well during his time on the court, contributing in every major statistical category while pacing the Clippers bench in minutes. Boston will likely see a steep drop in playing time if George is back in action for Friday's game in Detroit, but Boston may have performed well enough Wednesday to at least maintain a small role off the bench moving forward.
Boston logged three points (1-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 10 minutes during Saturday's 115-96 victory over the Celtics.
Boston saw more than 10 minutes for just the third time this season, as the Clippers easily accounted for the Celtics. It's been another underwhelming season for Boston, serving as nothing more than a depth piece, used sparingly at best. Outside of dynasty formats, he holds no fantasy value.

Clippers' Brandon Boston: Still no timeline for debut
Rotowire
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Thursday that Boston (quadriceps) is making "good progress" but remains without a timeline for making his season debut, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Boston is recovering from left quadriceps tendinopathy, an injury that first surfaced after he exited an Oct. 8 preseason game. Though Lue's comments are encouraging in the sense that Boston hasn't been shut down from activity, the third-year guard still looks as though he's being viewed as week-to-week rather than day-to-day. His absence will most likely stretch into late November, if not December.
