  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Remains out

    Jones (shoulder) won't play Friday against the Warriors.

    Jones has not yet been cleared for contact work, so it's no surprise to see that he's been ruled out for Friday's matchup. His next opportunity to return will arrive Monday against the Pacers.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Still not cleared for contact

    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

    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.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Another absence coming

    Jones (shoulder) won't play during Friday's game versus the Pacers.

    Jones will miss his second straight contest while dealing with a right shoulder injury. With CJ McCollum (adductor) also sidelined, Jose Alvarado (back), Jordan Hawkins and Javonte Green should receive increased playing time.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Ruled out Wednesday

    Jones (shoulder) will not play in Wednesday's game versus Golden State.

    Jones is dealing with a right shoulder strain -- which is a promising diagnosis as opposed to a dislocation of any type after his arm was fallen on while chasing a loose ball. Jones' next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Indiana.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Out for remainder of game

    Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports. He will finish the contest with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes.

    Jones will miss the entire fourth quarter of Tuesday's contest while dealing with a right shoulder injury. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday's rematch with Golden State.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Iffy to return Tuesday

    Jones is deemed questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Warriors due to a right shoulder injury, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

    Jones tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal Tuesday before exiting after Warriors Brandin Podziemski fell on his arm while diving for a loose ball. If Jones is unable to return, Jordan Hawkins and Javonte Green are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Returns to game

    Jones (back) has checked back into Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Jones briefly exited Wednesday's contest after suffering what seemed to be a back injury that stemmed from a hard fall early in the third quarter. However, he's been cleared to return to the game and has checked back in.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Heads to locker room

    Jones went to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Bulls with what seems to be a back injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Jones took a hard fall at the start of the second half after contesting a Nikola Vucevic layup. Jones was seen grabbing at his back before exiting the game and going to the locker room. With Zion Williamson (illness) already sidelined, Jones' injury leaves the Pels shorthanded in the frontcourt. Javonte Green and Yves Missi could see an increase in minutes while Jones is idle.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Could operate as starting center

    Jones is expected to serve as the Pelicans' starting center this season, Shams Charania of ESPN.com reports.

    Jones is one of the NBA's best defensive forwards but is now expected to operate as a small-ball center for New Orleans alongside Zion Williamson in the frontcourt. The departure of Jonas Valanciunas has left a gap at the position that could also be filled by rookie Yves Missi, but Jones' shot-blocking prowess at his size could earn him starting center minutes early on.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Starting against Orlando

    Jones will start Monday's preseason game against Orlando.

    Brandon Ingram is sitting out Monday's game for undisclosed reasons, but he's not injured. Jones could see increased run to open the season with Trey Murphy battling a hamstring issue. On a per-minute basis, Jones is a terrific source of steals and blocks.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Efficient despite loss in Game 2

    Jones chipped in 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round.

    Jones posted his best performance of the current postseason run, but his efforts were not enough as the Pelicans suffered a 32-point loss and now face an 0-2 deficit in the first-round series. Jones has scored in double digits in just four of his 12 appearances this month, and this 18-point output tied his best scoring mark since posting a 19-point effort against Miami on Feb. 23, so he's not expected to carry the Pelicans on offense in Game 3 on Saturday.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Passive performance Tuesday

    Jones finished Tuesday's 110-106 Play-In Game loss to the Lakers with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and two steals across 35 minutes.

    Jones failed to have a significant impact in the loss, delivering serviceable contributions on both ends of the floor. Tuesday's loss will now see the Pelicans having to suit up Friday, where they will face either the Kings or the Warriors. Although Jones is a key piece for New Orleans, his production is something that typically fluctuates in both fantasy and reality.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Goes for 15 points Friday

    Jones produced 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 111-109 loss to San Antonio.

    Jones finished with a solid performance Friday despite the loss, and he was able to contribute on both ends of the court with decent numbers in categories such as assists and steals. Jones has been a consistent do-it-all weapon for the Pelicans of late, averaging 11.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.9 steals per game since the All-Star break.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Shown walking papers in loss

    Jones was ejected from Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic after totaling six points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist and one steal in 41 minutes.

    Jones was unproductive during 41 minutes of playing time before being ejected alongside Dyson Daniels and Trey Murphy. The ejection came with only seven seconds remaining, and it seems unlikely that he'll miss any time as a result of the ejection. He should be good to go against the Spurs on Friday.
