Brandon Boston Jr. - Exits with injury Boston exited Wednesday's game against Portland and went back to the locker room with an apparent right leg injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Boston committed an intentional foul to sub himself out and immediately went back to the locker room with what looks to be a right leg injury. Considering Wednesday's contest is a blowout, and there are only a few minutes left, it wouldn't be surprising for Boston's night to be over. Look to Antonio Reeves and Jordan Hawkins to pick up the slack.

Herbert Jones - 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.

Herbert Jones - 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.
