Herbert Jones News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Out for at least one week Jones (calf) will be out for at least one week, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Impact 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.

Remaining out vs. Chicago Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Ruled out for Saturday Jones (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Jones will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back due to a bum back, 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 and there will be more minutes available for Jordan Hawkins.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Saturday Jones is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to lower-back spasms.

Impact 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 and Jordan Hawkins would be candidates to enter the Pelicans' starting lineup.

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.

Impact Jones went 1-for-8 from the floor, 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.

Drops 11 in loss Jones had 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 125-117 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Jones extends his streak of logging at least one steal to seven, and is averaging 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.1 blocks and 2.1 threes in that span. While Jones has not been producing flashy numbers, he has been quite efficient from beyond the arc, shooting 43.8 percent.

Scores 11 points in win Jones closed Tuesday's 116-112 win over the Hornets with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes.

Impact With Zion Williamson (hamstring) expected to miss at least one week, Jones could potentially see a short-term boost in offensive usage. But even on the nights in which he's not too involved offensively, most of Jones' fantasy appeal comes from his defensive upside and ability to knock down three-pointers.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 11 in loss Jones scored 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and added two rebounds over 23 minutes in Monday's 122-90 loss to Boston.

Impact Jones' production may have been a victim of game script, as he and all the starters were likely pulled due to the blowout nature of the second half. However, he was able to bounce back in the three-pointers category, drilling two in four attempts after missing all five of his attempts Friday against the Spurs.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double in loss Jones amassed 17 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 128-122 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Jones had an all-around performance on the stat sheet Wednesday, and its also worth noting he led all Pelicans in minutes played. If Jones can maintain these kinds of performances on both offense and defense, he will be a viable and desirable asset for fantasy managers moving forward.

Out once again Jones (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Melbourne Phoenix, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

Impact Jones will miss a second straight preseason matchup as he nurses a left ankle sprain. It's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up at any point in the preseason, although he should have time to recover since the Pelicans' next game is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 14, against the Rockets.

Dealing with ankle sprain Jones missed Friday's preseason game against Melbourne United with a left ankle sprain.

Impact This is a new injury for Jones, but it's not clear how serious it is. Jones underwent surgery Feb. 12 to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, but he was deemed 100 percent heading into camp. For now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's preseason game against Houston.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

A full go for camp Pelicans executive vice president Joe Dumars said Jones has been scrimmaging non-stop for the past couple weeks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones underwent surgery Feb. 12 to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, but he's been at "full speed" for a while now, Dumars said. This means he shouldn't face any limitations ahead of training camp. Jones averaged 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.9 steals through 20 regular-season games in 2024-25, and he's currently penciled in as a starter alongside Jordan Poole and Trey Murphy.
