Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Won't play Tuesday
Jones (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
Jones suffered a sprained right ankle during Monday's game against Dallas and was unable to return, so it's not a surprise that he's being held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. In Jones' absence, the Pelicans could rely heavily on Saddiq Bey and possibly Karlo Matkovic.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Won't return Monday
Jones won't return to Monday's game against the Mavericks due to a sprained right ankle, per the broadcast.
The 27-year-old forward stepped on Derik Queen's foot and limped to the locker room in the third quarter. Jones will finish with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes. He can be considered highly questionable for the second leg of New Orleans' back-to-back set Tuesday against Cleveland.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Exits to locker room vs. Dallas
Jones sustained an apparent right ankle injury and exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Mavericks, per the broadcast.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Available to play
Jones (head) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Jones took a shot to the face during Saturday's win over the Pacers, which ended his night early. That resulted in a migraine, but he has since been able to clear his questionable tag. He's unlikely to face any restrictions against Dallas.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Iffy for Monday
Jones (head) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks due to a migraine.
Jones took a shot in the face during Saturday's 128-109 win over the Pacers and was unable to return. He's day-to-day, however, and it's likely that he's re-evaluated after the morning shootaround. Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic could end up seeing more minutes at forward if Jones is unable to play through the migraine.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Won't return Saturday
Jones has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a head injury.
Jones got hit in the face during the first half and briefly went back to the locker room before returning to the bench. However, the issue will prevent him from finishing the contest. He'll end with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 12 minutes. Jordan Poole started the second half in Jones' place, and Micah Peavy or Karlo Matkovic could see more playing time as well. Jones' next chance to play will come Monday against Dallas.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Records eight steals
Jones totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and eight steals in 38 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 133-128 overtime win over Houston.
Jones showed exactly why he's going to be in such high demand at the trade deadline, and that's if the Pelicans decide to move him -- there's been no indication of that from New Orleans yet. Jones recorded a career-high eight steals in the comeback win and continues to provide a huge lift on both ends of the court since returning from injury.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Ejected vs. Portland
Jones was ejected from Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers after being assessed two technical fouls, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports. He'll finish the night with four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 14 minutes.
Jones picked up two technical fouls after arguing a foul call that went against him at the end of the first half. His ejection will open the door for Bryce McGowens to see an uptick in minutes the rest of the way Thursday.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Solid night in return from injury
Jones (calf) logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block across 26 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.
Jones appeared in his first game since Nov. 21 after missing the previous eight contests due to a right calf strain. He was unable to connect from downtown but shot the ball well from inside the arc, and he also went perfect from the charity stripe. Jones' defensive effort didn't go unnoticed, racking up a team-high steal total in the tightly-contested loss.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Will play vs. San Antonio
Jones (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Jones will shed his questionable tag and snap an eight-game absence due to a right calf injury. With the 27-year-old forward back in action, Bryce McGowens will likely slide back to the bench, while Micah Peavy may see a dip in playing time. Through 16 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, Jones has averaged 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals in 30.3 minutes per contest.

Jones (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Jones has been upgraded to questionable and could snap an eight-game absence due to a right calf strain. If the 27-year-old forward returns, Micah Peavy and Bryce McGowens will likely see a dip in minutes. Jones has averaged 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances, though he could face restrictions if he's cleared to return.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Out again Thursday
Jones (calf) won't play Thursday against the Timberwolves.
Jones will miss his seventh straight game on Thursday, and given that the Pelicans have not released any updates on Jones' progress in his recovery, he should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game in Brooklyn. Saddiq Bey and Bryce McGowens will continue to see major minutes for the banged-up Pelicans.

Jones (calf) won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Out for at least one week
Jones (calf) will be out for at least one week, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Jones has been diagnosed with a mild right calf strain, which held him out of Saturday's loss to the Hawks, and he'll now miss at least the Pelicans' next four contests. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on both Saddiq Bey and Micah Peavy in the interim, as both players could experience a rise in fantasy value.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Ruled out Saturday
Jones (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Jones will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back set due to a back issue, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for Monday's matchup with the Bulls. Saddiq Bey will likely start with Jones out, while Micah Peavy and Jordan Hawkins could also see increased minutes.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Questionable to play Saturday
Jones is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to lower-back spasms.
Jones may have tweaked his back during the Pelicans' 118-115 loss to the Mavericks on Friday, when he posted seven points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 32 minutes. If he's unable to play, then Saddiq Bey, Micah Peavy and Jordan Hawkins would be candidates to enter the Pelicans' starting lineup.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Rough shooting night
Jones racked up five points (1-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 126-109 loss to the Thunder.
Jones struggled to find his rhythm offensively, continuing what has been a frustrating start to the season. While his steal numbers have been adequate, the other aspects of his game have left a lot to be desired. He has scored fewer than eight points in three of the past five games, despite playing at least 26 minutes in all five appearances. He remains a viable fantasy asset, albeit one who should be viewed as a specialist rather than an all-around contributor.
