Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Pelicans in July of 2024. 
Reaches open market
The Pelicans declined to extend Cain a qualifying offer prior to Sunday's deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent, John Schuhmann of NBA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
New Orleans could have brought Cain back on a two-way deal for another season, but the Pelicans instead felt that spot was better used on another player. After playing his first two professional seasons on two-way deals with the Heat, Cain signed with New Orleans last July. He appeared in 37 games during the 2024-25 season, averaging 5.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.7 three-pointers in 13.6 minutes per contest while shooting 43 percent from the field. The 6-foot-7, 191-pound wing will be part of the Timberwolves' Las Vegas Summer League roster, and he'll look to parlay a strong showing in Las Vegas into another two-way contract with Minnesota or another organization. Even if he can't secure another two-way deal, Cain is a good bet to catch on with a team prior to training camp on an Exhibit 10 contract.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hoping to get standard deal
Cain wants to play under a standard contract in the 2024-25 NBA season, according to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald.
ANALYSIS
Cain spent the 2023-24 season on a two-way deal with the Heat organization, and he was dominant in the G League, averaging 23.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He hopes to be part of the Heat roster in 2024-25, but since he's a free agent, he won't rule out the possibility of signing with another franchise if promised a standard deal.
