  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Scores 24 points in loss

    Jones supplied 24 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 37 minutes during Saturday's 119-109 loss to the Thunder.

    Jones embraced a bigger role on offense following the exit of Brandon Ingram (ankle), and the former responded by delivering his best scoring mark of the campaign. The absence of players such as Ingram and Zion Williamson (hamstring) could translate to a bigger role on offense for Jones, and the uptick in usage should bolster his fantasy upside -- as long as he remains healthy and available. He missed 18 straight games between Oct. 30 and Dec. 2 due to a right shoulder strain.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Logs four steals in return

    Jones (shoulder) notched 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block across 32 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 victory over the Suns.

    Despite missing the previous 18 games with a sprained right shoulder, Jones faced few limitations in his return to action Thursday, as he stepped back into the starting five and cleared the 30-minute mark. As usual, Jones made his biggest impact on the defensive side, notching a game-high steal total and concluding his night by clamping down Devin Booker in the final seconds of regulation. Jones' efforts helped the Pelicans snap a nine-game losing streak, and he should hold down a consistent 30-plus minute role moving forward in a New Orleans frontcourt that will be without Zion Williamson (hamstring) for the foreseeable future.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Running with starters

    Jones is starting Thursday's game against the Suns, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Jones has been cleared to make his first appearance since Oct. 29, and although he'll be on a minutes restriction Thursday, the club has elected to slot him back in with the first unit. As reported earlier, he'll log around 30 minutes in his first game back from a shoulder strain.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Will be limited Thursday

    Coach Willie Green said that Jones (shoulder) will operate under a minutes restriction in Thursday's game against the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports. "They'll [Jones and Ingram] be probably right at 30, maybe a little under or over that."

    Jones will return to action after an 18-game absence due to a right shoulder strain. However, he will be limited to around 30 minutes as he works his way back to playing form. Jones has appeared in only four regular-season outings this year, and he has averaged 6.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.0 assists across 28.3 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Suiting up against Phoenix

    Jones (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

    Jones will return to action Thursday after missing New Orleans' last 18 contests due to a right shoulder strain. However, it wouldn't be surprising for the 26-year-old forward to operate on a minutes restriction as he works his way back into game shape.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Officially questionable

    Jones (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns.

    Jones has been sidelined since Oct. 29 due to a right shoulder strain and has played just four times this season, but the fact that he went through a full practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances of playing against Phoenix. The Pelicans are dealing with lots of injuries at the moment, so having Jones would provide a significant boost on both ends of the court, but mainly on defense, where he's one of the best specialists in the league.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Trending towards return Thursday

    Jones (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday, and coach Willie Green expressed optimism that Jones will play Thursday versus Phoenix, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Jones has been sidelined since Oct. 29 due to a right shoulder strain, limiting him to just four appearances thus far. The Pelicans have limped to a 2-16 record without Jones amid a myriad of other injuries across the roster, although Brandon Ingram (calf) could return to action Thursday as well.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Upgraded to doubtful

    Jones (shoulder) has been upgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Hawks.

    Jones, who has been sidelined since Oct. 29, appears to be getting closer to a return with this status upgrade. With the amount of injuries the Pelicans have been dealing with, there will be plenty of minutes available for him upon his return. If he's held out Monday as expected, his next chance to play will be Thursday against the Suns.

  • 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.
