Liddell's career has struggled to get off the ground since the Pelicans selected him with the 41st overall pick in the second round of the 2022 NBA draft. He suffered a torn ACL that eliminated his entire rookie year in 2022-23 and played just eight games in 2023-24, seeing 23 total minutes of action with four total points and five rebounds.

There was some success for Liddell in the G League, however, as he averaged 17.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 26 games with the Birmingham Squadron.

He seemed to have some momentum going into his rookie year, but that injury all but wiped that out. It's going to be very difficult for him to keep a spot in the league, but Atlanta is a better spot for that redemption than New Orleans was.
