New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones has died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen, his agent confirmed Saturday.

Dejean-Jones, 23, signed a three-year contract with the Pelicans in February after joining the team on consecutive 10-day contracts. He started 11 of 14 games before undergoing surgery for a broken right wrist and missing the rest of the season.

Dejean-Jones averaged 5.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.9 minutes over the 14 games last season.

Dejean-Jones played college ball at USC, UNLV and Iowa State before going undrafted in 2015.
