According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, New Orleans Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said on Tuesday that he expects forward Herbert Jones(shoulder)to miss the remainder of the season. Jones has been sidelined and recovering from a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder that he suffered on January 8th. Griffin hasn't indicated if Jones will get surgery to address the injury. The 26-year-old had played in 20 games this season averaging 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest. |

Fri Jan 10 | 16:21 | Herbert Jones Out Indefinitely With Torn Labrum |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) is now out indefinitely due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Jones will be sidelined and there likely won't be any timetable on his return for a little while. Jones left their last game against the Trail Blazers with the shoulder injury after playing 18 minutes and registering one assist and two steals. Jones has been the team's best defender, so there are some big shoes to fill for the 7-31 Pelicans. With a lot of their wings on the injury report, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Brandon Boston Jr. will likely be the best streaming options. |

The 26-year-old hasn't suited up since October 29, missing 18 consecutive contests with a right shoulder strain. Being out of action for a while, Jones's minutes will most definitely be restricted until he can get back into game shape. At this time, he will not be a fantasy factor. |

He could potentially be an option at the center for deeper fantasy leagues. |

He could serve as a big man streamer in deeper leagues. |

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) has been trending in the right direction but he's not quite ready to appear in a game. While he's taken part in some of the non-contact parts of practice, his shoulder hasn't been cleared to give it a full go. The team has ruled him out for Sunday against the New York Knicks, but a return could finally be closing in. While he remains sidelined along with Brandon Ingram (calf) and Jordan Hawkins (back), Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. should keep getting some added minutes. |

Tue Nov 26 2024 | 20:00 | Herbert Jones Ruled Out For Wednesday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors, marking his 15th consecutive absence. However, there is some optimism for his return as he participated in non-contact portions of Tuesday's practice. Managers will need to remain patient as Jones progresses toward full-contact work. The 25-year-old has appeared in just four games this season, struggling with his shooting at 18.2% from beyond the arc and 50% from the free-throw line, areas he'll look to improve upon when he gets back on the court. |

Sun Nov 24 2024 | 19:07 | Herbert Jones To Remain Sidelined Monday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) will miss a 14th straight game on Monday versus Indiana. Jones was ruled out for 2-4 weeks with a right shoulder sprain at the start of the month, meaning he's getting close to returning. But Monday's game comes too soon for him. Brandon Boston Jr. and Jordan Hawkins should continue to see extended minutes during Jones' absence. However, the Pelicans rotation will soon get a major tweak, with CJ McCollum (adductor) and Dejounte Murray (hand) on the cusp of rejoining the action. There's a strong chance McCollum will already be back on Monday. |

Fri Nov 1 2024 | 17:44 | Herbert Jones To Miss A Significant Amount Of Time With Shoulder Injury |
The New Orleans Pelicans announced Friday that forward Herbert Jones(shoulder) sustained a right shoulder strain and a small low-grade partial-thickness tear in his rotator cuff. His recovery timeframe is approximately 2-4 weeks. Jones's return to play will be based on how he responds to treatment and rehabilitation. The absence of Jones should mean that Jordan Hawkins will continue to see more minutes. On Wednesday, Hawkins posted 23 points with four rebounds in 38 minutes. He will likely see an uptick in playing time against the Pacers on Friday with Jones sidelined. |

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the second game in a row that Jones will miss due to a right shoulder strain. The absence of Jones should mean that Jordan Hawkins continues getting increased looks in the rotation.

He should see significant playing time against the Pacers on Friday. |

Wed Oct 30 2024 | 09:07 | Herbert Jones Sustains A Shoulder Injury Tuesday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones injured his right shoulder in Tuesday's game against Golden State. He exited the contest in the third quarter, finishing with five points, three rebounds, and one steal in 20 minutes. The two teams meet again on Wednesday, and Jones should be regarded as questionable for the game. Javonte Green and Jordan Hawkins could receive additional minutes with Jones out. Hawkins has the most fantasy upside of the two, but he performed poorly on Tuesday, as the 22-year-old settled for only four points in 26 minutes. |

Tue Mar 19 2024 | 18:52 | Herbert Jones Ready To Go On Tuesday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back, hip) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Nets. The versatile 25-year-old has been upgraded from probable to available. Jones makes a return after missing one game with a hip and lower back contusion. He should take on his normal role as a starter, pushing Trey Murphy III to the bench. However, Murphy III should still see plenty of action, and both players look to be set up for success on Tuesday as good three-point shooters -- opposing players are hitting 37.6 percent from deep against Brooklyn, which is the fifth-highest percentage in the league. |

Tue Mar 19 2024 | 09:48 | Herbert Jones On Track To Return Tuesday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back, hip) is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus Brooklyn, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Jones was injured against the Clippers on Friday and couldn't play the following day versus Portland due to a lower back and hip contusion. Trey Murphy III filled in for him as a starter. Jones is a guy who provides a little bit of everything to fantasy managers, but he's been off his game offensively this month, averaging only 7.3 points while his season average stands at 11.0. Murphy III, on the other hand, is having a great month on the attacking front, posting 20.7 points per game, and he will still have plenty of fantasy value, as the 23-year-old gets a nice chunk of minutes despite his bench role in New Orleans. |

Sat Mar 16 2024 | 18:26 | Herbert Jones Downgraded To Out Versus Portland |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back/hip) has been downgraded from questionable to out after taking what looked like a pretty bad fall during their game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jones suffered both a hip and back contusion which will cause him to miss at least one game, but the fact that he was questionable at first is a good sign that he could return for their next contest. In his place, Trey Murphy III will likely be the one to take over the starting spot while Larry Nance Jr. and Naji Marshall get some extra opportunities off of the bench. Jones' status should be monitored leading up to their next game against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. |

Mon Feb 5 2024 | 06:00 | Herbert Jones Tagged As Questionable For Monday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (groin) is considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Raptors. The versatile forward could be unavailable for a third straight game. However, Jones got through a full practice session on Sunday, which points to the fact that he might be ready to return. Trey Murphy III has earned a pair of starts during Jones' absence, although his workload actually hasn't increased, as the 23-year-old has featured heavily off the bench all season. Youngsters Dyson Daniels and Jordan Hawkins will take a hit with Jones' return. |

Fri Feb 2 2024 | 16:32 | Herbert Jones Questionable Against Spurs On Friday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (groin) has been tagged as questionable for their Friday night contest against the San Antonio Spurs. If he, Larry Nance Jr. (ankle), and Zion Williamson (foot) all end up getting ruled out, the front court could be very thin. As of right now, all three are questionable, so the streaming options for this game are murky, at best, until we get an update before tipoff. Jones wasn't able to play in their last game on Wednesday, so his status seems to truly be up in the air. If he's unable to suit up while Williamson and Nance can't play as well, Trey Murphy III and Dyson Daniels should both be quality streaming options. |

Thu Dec 21 2023 | 09:24 | Herbert Jones Questionable For Thursday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (illness) could be forced to come out of the lineup Thursday against Cleveland. He is regarded as questionable for the game due to an illness. Jones has hit a rough patch lately, but he's a guy who generally contributes in all areas and will definitely be missed by the team and fantasy managers alike. With a few other players battling illnesses as well, the Pelicans' rotation could look very unusual on Thursday. Trey Murphy III and Dyson Daniels would be the primary beneficiaries from Jones' absence. |

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (fibula) has been ruled out of the team's game on Sunday night against the Dallas Mavericks. He's still dealing with a right fibula contusion and will miss his third consecutive game. While he remains out, Dyson Daniels will continue to see time with the starting five while Matt Ryan, Larry Nance Jr., and Naji Marshall should all see some opportunities off of the bench. Ryan would be a great streaming option if threes are needed, but the other two would likely be more trustworthy. |

Fri Nov 10 2023 | 11:34 | Herbert Jones Tagged As Questionable On Friday |
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (fibula) was downgraded late on Wednesday before their last game and ended up missing it. He's back on the injury report and is tagged questionable ahead of their matchup against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for more updates leading up to tipoff because he could be a game-time decision again. Zion Williamson (person) is also listed as questionable, while CJ McCollum (lung) and Trey Murphy III (knee) are both ruled out. If Jones gets downgraded again, Jordan Hawkins and Dyson Daniels would be the best streaming options while Matt Ryan could be a sneaky option as well. |

Wed Nov 8 2023 | 19:02 | Herbert Jones Downgraded To Out |
New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green says forward Herbert Jones (fibula) is not going to play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is somewhat surprising after Jones appeared to be closer to probable, since he was seen at morning shootaround. Nevertheless, right fibula soreness will ultimately sideline the 25-year-old three-and-D wing for the first time this year on Wednesday. It's fair to wonder if Jones suffered a setback along the way, but we'll deem him day-to-day unless we hear otherwise before Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. New Orleans is already missing stars CJ McCollum (lung) and Zion Williamson (personal), so Dyson Daniels and Larry Nance Jr. look like intriguing DFS salary-relief options on Wednesday's packed 14-game slate. |
