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.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Struggles with shot
Jones supplied 16 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to the Thunder.
Jones' primary responsibility Tuesday was slowing down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (24 points, 9-20 FG), although going cold from beyond the arc stagnated the Pelicans' offense down the stretch. That said, Jones knocking down 42.5 percent of 3.5 threes per game this season appears sustainable, as the 25-year-old is making 41.9 percent of his guarded attempts.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Three rejections in return
Jones closed Tuesday's 104-91 win over the Nets with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 34 minutes.
After missing the Pelicans' prior game due to a hip/back bruise, Jones looked pretty healthy as he racked up three blocks for the third time in his last four contests. However, the third-year forward has seen his shot volume shrink in March, and through seven games on the month, he's averaging 7.9 points, 2.9 assists, 2.7 boards, 1.6 blocks, 1.4 threes and 1.3 steals despite shooting 54.1 percent from the floor.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Good to go against Brooklyn
Jones (hip/back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Nets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Jones will return to action Tuesday after missing New Orleans' previous contest due to a contusion to his lower back/hip. He should replace Trey Murphy in the starting lineup against Brooklyn. Jones has averaged 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.9 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Probable for Tuesday
Jones (hip/back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
This is an expected injury designation, as Jones was able to practice in full Monday after missing Saturday's game versus Portland. If he gets through warmups without any setbacks, he'll likely be right back in the starting lineup, with Trey Murphy moving to the bench.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Goes through practice
Jones (hip) was able to go through a full practice Monday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Jones didn't play Saturday against Portland after tweaking his hip and back after a fall during Friday's win over the Clippers. It sounds like he's trending in the right direction for Tuesday against the Nets, but there should be more clarity when the Pelicans release their injury report Monday evening.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Out against Portland
Jones (hip/back) will not play Saturday against Portland, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Jones is a bit shaken up after a scary fall during Friday's win versus the Clippers. He was able to carry on in that game, but he's experiencing soreness Saturday and will be day-to-day going forward. Trey Murphy is likely to benefit the most from a fantasy perspective in Jones' absence.
