  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Out indefinitely with labrum tear

    The Pelicans announced Friday that Jones has been diagnosed with a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder following an MRI and is considered out indefinitely.

    Injuries have played a big part in the Pelicans limping to a 7-31 start to the season, and the long-term loss of Jones represents another major blow. Though the Pelicans aren't offering a timeline for his return, injuries of this sort often entail multi-month absences, regardless of whether surgery is necessary. Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Trey Murphy (ankle) should eventually return from injuries and soak up more minutes at forward in Jones' absence, but in the short term, Brandon Boston, Jordan Hawkins and Javonte Green could all be thrust into larger roles.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Won't play against Philadelphia

    Jones (shoulder) is listed as out for Friday's game versus the 76ers.

    Jones will miss Friday's contest after suffering a right shoulder sprain against Portland on Wednesday. Brandon Boston and Javonte Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Jones' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Boston.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Won't return Wednesday

    Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. He finishes with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), an assist and two steals across 18 minutes.

    Jones suffered an unspecified right shoulder injury -- the same shoulder that he strained earlier this season -- Wednesday and won't return. Considering the Pelicans are trailing by 22 points with one quarter to play, it's possible they're playing it safe with Jones. However, his injury history warrants additional attention ahead of the Pelicans' matchup with Philadelphia on Friday.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Heads to locker room

    Jones exited Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers with an apparent right shoulder injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Jones missed 18 consecutive games earlier this season with a right shoulder strain, and it appears as though that same shoulder is bothering him Wednesday. The 26-year-old's absence should leave more minutes for Brandon Boston and Javonte Green.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Totals four defensive counters

    Jones logged 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 110-98 victory over the Wizards.

    Herbert made his usual impact as a three-and-D presence from New Orleans' first unit, hitting one three and collecting four defensive stoppers Sunday. Through his last 10 contests, the 26-year-old forward is now averaging 11.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.2 threes. Jones should continue absorbing additional playmaking responsibilities until Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Brandon Ingram (ankle) finally get back on the court for the Pelicans, but the extra usage might be hurting his efficiency, as Jones is shooting just 31.6 percent from downtown during this period.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Solid all-around performance

    Jones had 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Clippers.

    Jones has had rough outings over the last few games, especially in terms of scoring. However, he played well against the Clippers, missing only four shots on his way to 18 points, which could be a sign he's turning things around.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Stuffs stat sheet but shoots poorly

    Jones closed Thursday's 128-111 loss to the Rockets with 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and seven assists across 31 minutes.

    Jones had a strong showing when it comes to peripheral stats with his six boards and seven dimes, but the fact that he ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored isn't the best recipe for success. The four-year veteran has scored in double digits in six of his last nine appearances since returning from an extended absence due to a shoulder injury. Jones should remain valuable in most formats, and particularly category-based ones, if he continues to mix up solid scoring performances with strong contributions in secondary categories, such as rebounds, assists and steals.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Busy at both ends of court Sunday

    Jones closed Sunday's 119-104 loss to the Pacers with 19 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals over 38 minutes.

    The 17 shot attempts were a season high for Jones, while the four steals tied his season best. The fourth-year forward has looked good since returning from a shoulder injury that cost him more than a month of action, averaging 14.8 points, 5.2 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.6 threes over the last five games.

  • 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: Remaining sidelined Monday

    Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Jones will miss his 18th straight game due to a right shoulder strain, though his status did upgrade to doubtful earlier Monday, which indicates that he is progressing through his recovery. Jones' next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Suns.

  • 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: Out vs. New York

    Jones (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    Jones hasn't played since Oct. 29, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for his return while dealing with a right shoulder strain. His next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday on the second leg of a back-to-back set.
