CJ McCollum News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans | FOX Sports

Struggles from downtown continue McCollum produced 18 points (8-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes in Monday's 101-93 loss to the Magic.

Impact McCollum has been held under 20 points in both of the Pelicans' last two contests, with his 2-for-17 showing from three-point range between those games contributing heavily to the substandard scoring performances. Though in most cases fantasy managers could chalk up the poor showings from downtown as outlier performances, McCollum acknowledged prior to Monday's game that he's continuing to play through a right thumb injury, per Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. McCollum doesn't sound like he's at any immediate risk of missing games because of the injury, but it may take a bit for him to regain his usual shooting touch.

Drops 22 points in return McCollum produced 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-102 loss to the Lakers.

Impact McCollum returned from a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain and saw his usual workload. He'll now have a full week off to rest his ankle during the All-Star break. Once the Pelicans return Feb. 23 against the Raptors, McCollum and Brandon Ingram will continue to carry the load offensively with Zion Williamson (hamstring) recently suffering a setback.

Tending to sprained ankle McCollum is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Oklahoma City with a right ankle sprain, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact McCollum may have tweaked the ankle during Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, so he'll presumably need to test it at Monday's morning shootaround before another update on his status is provided. If McCollum ends up sitting out, Jose Alvarado would make for an attractive streamer as the likely replacement in the starting lineup.

Strong game from deep in win McCollum closed Sunday's 136-104 win over Sacramento with 24 points (9-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes.

Impact McCollum only narrowly exceeded his season average in scoring (21.3 points per game), but his output was more valuable than usual thanks to the stellar shooting at all three levels. The veteran point guard ended up playing fewer than 30 minutes for the first time since Dec. 7, but that was a byproduct of the Pelicans taking a 28-point lead into the final quarter.
