  2H ago • By RotoWire

  Jones (shoulder) participated in Tuesday's non-contact practice, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports. Jones hasn't appeared in a game since Oct. 29, though he appears to be trending in the right direction. While he hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, fantasy managers should consider him questionable at best since he's yet to take contact.

• Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Still not cleared for contact

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Willie Green said Friday that Jones (shoulder) is back on the court but is still not doing any contact practice, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports. Jones hasn't played since Oct. 29 due to a small low-grade partial thickness tear in his rotator cuff. While Jones' initial timetable for return was 2-to-4 weeks from the beginning of November, it appears that his return will likely be toward the latter end of that timeline.

• Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Extended absence incoming

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Jones is expected to miss a minimum of 2-to-4 weeks after sustaining a right shoulder strain and small low-grade partial thickness tear in his rotator cuff. Jones suffered the injury in the second half of Tuesday's loss to Golden State, and this diagnosis will hold him out for a minimum of two weeks. The 26-year-old's status relies on his progression during treatment and rehabilitation, meaning he could possibly miss more than the four-week timetable set by the Pelicans. Through four regular-season outings thus far, Jones has averaged 6.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals-plus-blocks across 28.3 minutes per game. Jordan Hawkins (back) and Javonte Green are both candidates for an increased role while Jones is out.
