On mend from surgery The Pelicans announced that Jones underwent successful surgery Feb. 12 to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder.

Impact Jones had the surgery performed in Los Angeles one day after the Pelicans announced that he would miss the rest of the 2024-25 season. Before going down with the injury Jan. 8, Jones appeared in 20 games and averaged 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes per contest. He's expected to make a full recovery from surgery in advance of training camp in the fall.

Impact Jones is still recovering from the posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder that he sustained Jan. 8. He was spotted getting up some light shooting in early February, but there was never any indication that he was close to returning. Considering the Pelicans don't have much to play for in the final couple months, it makes a lot of sense for the franchise to exercise caution. In 20 total regular-season appearances, Jones produced averages of 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.

Impact Jones is still recovering from the posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder that he sustained Jan. 8. He was spotted getting up some light shooting last week, but the Pelicans never offered any indication there was never any indication that he was close to returning to game action. Griffin didn't reveal whether or not Jones will get surgery to address the injury, or if the forward will be able to heal through rest and rehab. In 20 appearances before suffering the injury, Jones averaged 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes.

Spotted getting up some shots Jones (shoulder) was spotted getting up some shots at Monday's morning shootaround, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones remains without a timetable as he recovers from a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder. This is a sign that he's trending in the right direction, however, as Guillory notes that this is the first time he's been able to do anything on the court since the diagnosis.

FEBRUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out indefinitely with labrum tear Jones (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a torn labrum, which will keep the Pelicans forward out indefinitely.

Impact Injuries have ripped through the Pelicans all season, and now they've lost one of their best defensive players, with Jones being diagnosed with a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder. There's no timetable for his return, which is devastating for New Orleans. Brandon Boston and Javonte Green could significantly boost in minutes due to Jones being on the mend.

Won't play against Philadelphia Jones (shoulder) is listed as out for Friday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Jones will miss Friday's contest after suffering a right shoulder sprain against Portland on Wednesday. Brandon Boston and Javonte Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Jones' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Boston.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Wednesday Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. He finishes zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), an assist and two steals across 18 m...

Impact Jones suffered an unspecified right shoulder injury -- the same shoulder that he strained earlier this season -- Wednesday and won't return. Considering the Pelicans are trailing by 22 points with one quarter to play, it's possible they're playing it safe with Jones. However, his injury history warrants additional attention ahead of the Pelicans' matchup with Philadelphia on Friday.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room Jones exited Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers with an apparent right shoulder injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones missed 18 consecutive games earlier this season with a right shoulder strain and it appears as though that same shoulder is bothering him Wednesday. The 26-year-old's absence should leave more minutes for Brandon Boston and Javonte Green.
