Sidelined Monday Marshall (illness) will not play in Monday's contest against the Thunder, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports

Impact Marshall will miss his first game of the season as he recovers from an illness. The Xavier product's next chance to return to New Orleans' lineup comes Wednesday against the Raptors.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Marshall (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Marshall has played regularly this season for the Pelicans, but he has been unable to log heavy minutes off the bench and has averaged just 20.2 minutes per contest across his last five outings. Even if he is available, Marshall does not figure to have a big impact for the Pelicans.

Back to bench Friday Marshall racked up zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in nine minutes during Friday's 114-105 win over the Warriors.

Impact Marshall was able to put up standard-league value over the past week, though the return of both Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones has clearly signaled an end to that. Not only did he shift back to the bench Friday, but he also logged a team-low nine minutes. It was fun while it lasted, but for now, he can be safely returned to the waiver wire.

Will come off bench Friday Marshall will operate off the bench during Friday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Marshall and Trey Murphy will revert to their usual bench roles with Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Herbert Jones (knee) returning to the starting lineup following four-game absences. In three appearances as a reserve, Marshall has posted 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game.

Zion back with double-double, Pelicans rout Clippers 112-91

Scores career-best 21 points Marshall closed Friday's 124-111 loss to the Suns with 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

Impact Marshall started for the second game in a row with Zion Williamson (hip) sidelined, and just as it happened Tuesday against Dallas, he thrived when given a considerable uptick in minutes while posting a career-best scoring figure. Marshall is worth a flyer while Williamson remains sidelined, but he's expected to move back to the bench sooner than later. It's worth noting that Marshall didn't log more than 15 minutes in any of his three games off the bench, but he surpassed the 30-minute mark in his two contests as a starter, something that also explains the sizable uptick in his overall numbers.

Productive in starting role Tuesday Marshall ended Tuesday's 113-111 win over the Mavericks with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes.

Impact Marshall moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, making the most of his opportunity with what was a productive outing. For anyone that managed to stream him in, you have to be feeling pretty good about things given his limited range. As soon as the team is healthy again, Marshall will obviously shift back to a bench role. Until then, he is at least worth considering as a short-term asset.

Getting start Wednesday Marshall will start Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact Marshall is one of three players in a shift change of the starting five with Brandon Ingram (concussion), Zion Williamson (hip) and Herbert Jones (knee) all ruled out. Marshall figures to see expanded run as a result and is coming off of a solid performance against the Jazz, racking up seven points, two steals, a rebound and a block over 13 minutes.

Continues solid preseason Marshall tallied 13 points (6-9 FT, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Friday's exhibition against Atlanta.

Impact Marshall saw plenty of opportunities off the bench in this one and put together an efficient evening, contributing across the board. While he has put together an impressive preseason, he'll have his work cut out for him, as he'll have to compete with the likes of Jaxson Hayes, Larry Nance, Dyson Daniels and Trey Murphy just to carve out a bench role.

Well-rounded performance Wednesday Marshall managed 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's preseason loss to the Heat.

Impact Marshall has shown upside in his first two years as a well-rounded forward, though his inconsistency as a shooter prevents him from seeing more action. He's performed well this preseason, but his path to minutes is murky. Ahead of him are players like Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson, Larry Nance and even Jaxson Hayes (elbow).

Impact Marshall is going into his third year in New Orleans after averaging 5.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals in 13.4 minutes across 55 games last season. The third-year forward is likely to be a bench contributor again but is getting the chance to start with Brandon Ingram (toe) out.
