Allen, 35, adds some much-needed depth to the Pelicans wing position in the wake of Soloman Hill’s hamstring injury. The 13-year veteran is regarded as one of the best wing defenders in the league. He’s coming off making the NBA All-Defensive Team for the sixth time in seven seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, with whom he was hugely popular for his hard-nosed play that earned him the nickname “Grindfather.”
New Orleans, which is subject to a hard salary cap this season, created room to add Allen by trading Quincy Pondexter to the Chicago Bulls earlier this month.
