Ruled out for Wednesday Poole (quadriceps) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Progressing in recovery Poole (quadriceps) has been cleared to resume basketball activities, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Impact Poole is set to miss his 11th consecutive contest Monday due to a left quadriceps strain, though he appears to be nearing a return. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Pelicans ease the 26-year-old guard back into action. In seven regular-season appearances (four starts) thus far, Poole has averaged 17.3 points and 3.4 assists in 30.3 minutes per contest.

Remains out Poole (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Still out vs. Mavericks Poole (quadriceps) is out for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Pelicans are expected to re-evaluate Poole in the near future, though the guard won't be cleared in time for Friday. Fantasy managers can consider him questionable at best for Saturday's matchup against the Hawks. With Poole sidelined, Jeremiah Fears and Jose Alvarado should both remain in the streaming conversation.

Making progress, out another week The Pelicans announced Friday that Poole (quadriceps) will be re-assessed in approximately one week.

Impact Poole was evaluated Friday, and while the evaluation showed he's been making progress in his recovery from a strained left quad, he'll be sidelined for at least another week. If the 26-year-old can return exactly a week from Friday, he could appear in a road game against Dallas. In the meantime, Jeremiah Fears should hold down point guard duties while Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could see a bump in playing time.

Out 7-10 days The Pelicans announced Friday that Poole has been diagnosed with a mild left quadriceps strain, and he will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.

Impact This is a tough break for Poole and the Pelicans. Based on this timeline, the earliest possible return date is Nov. 16 against the Thunder, but that's far from a guarantee. With Poole sidelined, Trey Murphy is likely to soak up even more usage, and Jeremiah Fears will have a pretty large runway to make some noise. Additionally, guys like Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could find themselves with more opportunities.

No-go Wednesday Poole (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Poole was initially deemed questionable due to left knee soreness, and the ailment will result in his first absence of the campaign. Look for Jordan Hawkins and Jose Alvarado to see a bump in playing time, while Jeremiah Fears could be leaned on even more offensively. Poole's next chance to play will come Saturday at San Antonio.

Questionable for Tuesday Poole (knee) is ruled questionable for Wednesday's game in Dallas.

Impact Poole is a new addition to New Orleans' injury report after starting against Charlotte on Tuesday, but this may be a precaution as Wednesday's contest is the second leg of a back-to-back. If Poole can't go, expect Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins to see extended playing time as a result.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Poole will start in Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact After coming off the bench in three straight games, the 26-year-old guard will return to the starting five with Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined.
