Rare appearance Friday Zeller closed with one point (1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over three minutes during Friday's 111-88 victory over Miami.

Impact Zeller cracked the rotation for the first time in more than two weeks, logging three minutes in garbage time. Given he has appeared in only 39 games all season, during which he has averaged 1.9 points and 2.8 rebounds, it's clear he holds no fantasy value.

Will play Thursday Zeller (knee) is available to face the Rockets on Thursday.

Impact Zeller was initially listed as questionable due to left knee soreness, but he will be able to suit up in the end. The big man hasn't logged double-digit minutes since mid-December, however, so his availability won't affect many fantasy lineups.

Listed out for Monday Zeller (knee) won't play Monday night against the Grizzlies.

Impact Zeller is set to miss his third straight game while on the mend from left knee soreness. The 31-year-old is averaging only 5.2 minutes per contest in the new calendar year (13 appearances), so his absence shouldn't alter the Pelicans' rotation much.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged as questionable Zeller (knee) is questionable to play Monday versus Memphis.

Impact Zeller is at risk of missing his third consecutive game due to two left knee soreness. Zeller has played sparingly for New Orleans, averaging just 4.6 minutes across his last eight appearances, so the Pelicans' rotation would not be overly fazed by another absence from the 31-year-old.

Won't suit up Saturday Zeller (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Listed as questionable Zeller is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with Portland due to left knee soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

JANUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Tuesday Zeller (ankle) will play Tuesday against Memphis.

Impact Zeller has been cleared to play following a two-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl had logged 20-plus minutes in each of Zeller's latest absences, but he's a candidate to be subtracted from the Pelicans' frontcourt rotation.

DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Zeller (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Zeller has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury. He was listed as questionable ahead of both of those absences, so his questionable tag doesn't offer much optimism. If Zeller is out again, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl should continue to see an expanded bench role.
