The Hornets plan to sign Sasha Pavlovic to a 10-day contract on Friday, according to sources.

New Orleans will give Pavlovic a chance to fill in for injured forward Trevor Ariza.

Ariza severely sprained his right ankle in Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma City and could be sidelined for weeks, according to a source.

Pavlovic recently completed two 10-day deals with the Mavericks, starting six games.
