Won't play Tuesday Jones (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
Impact 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.

Available to play Jones (head) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Jones (head/migraine) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Jones took a shot in the face during Saturday's game against 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. Jordan Poole, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic could see more minutes if Jones is unable to play.
DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact 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 for the franchise.

Impact Jones appeared in his first game since Nov. 21 after putting a calf injury in the rearview mirror. 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 four steals in the tightly-contested loss.

Will play vs. San Antonio Jones (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs.

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.
DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Saturday Jones has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Out again Thursday Jones (calf) won't play Thursday against the Timberwolves.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Still out Tuesday Jones (calf) won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves.
Impact Jones is set to miss his sixth straight game Tuesday, and it's not a great sign that he's getting ruled out 24 hours in advance of tip-off. He should be considered doubtful for Thursday's rematch with the Timberwolves.
