NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Pelicans and former New York Knicks guard Langston Galloway have agreed to terms on a two-year contract, three people familiar with the negotiations said on Wednesday night.The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet official, although Galloway, a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native, effectively confirmed his decision on his verified Twitter account, writing: Im coming home (hash)neworleanspelicans.The 24-year-old Galloway averaged 7.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in about 25 minutes per game for the Knicks last season.Undrafted out of St. Josephs, the 6-foot-2 Galloway joined New York as a rookie during the 2014-15 season, when he averaged 11.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 45 games.A restricted free agent to start this offseason, he became available when the Knicks rescinded their initial qualifying offer, reportedly to free up money to sign guard Brandon Jennings.The Knicks were still attempting to re-sign Galloway when he chose instead to play for New Orleans, which offered a player option in the second year of the contract, said one of the people who spoke to AP. Financial terms have not been disclosed.The addition of Galloway gives New Orleans another combo guard who has demonstrated scoring potential and built a reputation as a solid defender. Galloway also provides depth that could be needed if guard Tyreke Evans struggles to come back from surgery to replace cartilage in his right knee.The Pelicans lost shooting guard Eric Gordon in free agency, but only after drafting Buddy Hield -- a high-scoring guard in college -- sixth overall out of Oklahoma.Last week, New Orleans also signed former Chicago combo guard ETwaun Moore to a four-year, $34 million contract. Moore and Galloway will enter a guard rotation topped by starting point guard Jrue Holiday, who also plays stints off the ball.New Orleans also expects to retain restricted free agent point guard Tim Frazier, who was acquired last season after the Pelicans were beset by a slew of injuries to backcourt regulars. For now, however, Frazier can sign offer sheets from other teams, forcing the Pelicans to match in order to keep him.

South Africa are keen to play more pink-ball cricket even after losing their first day-night Test. Both stand-in captain Faf du Plessis, and Man of the Series Vernon Philander said they would like to see the ball used at home, though South Africa may face some challenges in introducing it.The questions we had about day-night cricket were more skeptical and now we are not so much like that anymore, Faf du Plessis said. But there are positive signs. I would like to see it in South Africa. Obviously, the lights would have to be upgraded dramatically but it adds something different to Test cricket.With the rising cost of electricity, stadiums in South Africa are reluctant to turn the lights on at the best of times, but the merits of investing in the format were on display at the Adelaide Oval. Du Plessis day one declaration was the earliest example. He called time on South Africas innings to put Australia in for 45 minutes under lights, in the hope of extracting some extra movement and making inroads.It was a gamble that did not pay off, but South Africa soon realised that twilight was when the pink ball could be most dangerous. Not only did it swing, but it also turned.They may have been disappointed that their left-arm wristspinner Tabraiz Shamsi did not prove the trump card he was primed to be but du Plessis was pleased to see the improvement from one innings to the next.In the first innings Shamsi may not have bowled as well as he wanted, du Plessis said. But then in the second innings, in a different situation, he bowled really well. He stepped up to the challenge of being better. For Philander, who relied on subtlety, the pink ball sometimes did too much, but he said he wwould also like to see our domestic teams play with it a bit for future reference.dddddddddddd He couldnt get the most out of it, but he believed South Africa have a diverse enough attack for someone else to.Our attack now covers all bases and the guys have stepped up really well, Philander said. With myself and Kyle Abbott upfront, we have seam and swing and then we have KG [Rabada] with a bit of pace. Its wonderful to have all those varieties available to you but then its also up to the captain to see how to use it.From a batting perspective, South Africas fear of collapsing under lights was not realised, though they did find the going tougher once the sun set. Their most successful batsman, Stephen Cook, learnt that patience was invaluable when facing the pink ball. You cant get ahead of yourself with the pink ball. Once you start to chase things, you can come undone, Cook said. If you look at Usman Khawaja, he stuck with his game plan from ball one to ball 300 and I tried to do the same thing. Just because I had 60, didnt meant I could take it to the attack.Cook had led the South Africa A side on a pre-series recce in the winter to play with the pink ball, and having faced it more than most, hoped it was here to stay.Its got better in terms of the ball from last year with the white seam, which swung more and deteriorated faster. Now, it lasts longer and is more durable. If those improvements continue to be made, I would absolutely want to keep using it and we wont have to make conditions to suit the ball. Weve had a nice experience with it. ' ' '
