Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Making progress, out another week

The Pelicans announced Friday that Poole (quadriceps) will be re-assessed in approximately one week.

Poole was evaluated Friday, and while the evaluation showed he's been making progress in his recovery from a strained left quad, he'll be sidelined for at least another week. If the 26-year-old can return exactly a week from Friday, he could appear in a road game against Dallas. In the meantime, Jeremiah Fears should hold down point guard duties while Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could see a bump in playing time.
