Jordan Poole - Questionable to play Friday Poole (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Poole was unable to play against the Cavaliers on Tuesday due to left ankle soreness, but he has a chance to be available for the Pelicans on Friday. He has averaged 16.6 points, 3.2 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 1.2 steals over 27.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Herbert Jones - Won't play Friday Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Jones will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle, and his next chance to play is in Saturday's rematch against Phoenix. Bryce McGowens will likely remain in the Pelicans' starting lineup for as long as Jones is sidelined.

Derik Queen - Huge third quarter in loss Queen produced 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 141-118 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Queen was limited to just two points in the first half while missing all four of his field-goal attempts, but the rookie center came alive in the third quarter with 16 points, going 6-for-7 from the field while connecting on both of his three-point attempts in the frame. The Pelicans traded two first-round picks to move up to the 13th spot in the 2025 NBA Draft to select Queen, and the Maryland product has blemished into a key piece of the franchise early in his career. Across the 19 games since permanently entering the starting lineup Nov. 16, Queen has averaged 15.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 28.3 minutes per game.

Zion Williamson - Another strong outing off bench Williamson registered 26 points (9-15 FG, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 141-118 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Williamson's 21 minutes were tied for his lowest playing time since returning from a six-game absence Dec. 14, but the seventh-year forward still managed to lead the Pelicans in scoring while coming off the bench. The 2019 No. 1 overall pick has averaged 21.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.4 minutes per games since returning from a right adductor strain. The Pelicans play against the Suns on back-to-back days Friday and Saturday, so Williamson could sit for one of those contests for injury management purposes.
