No practice participation Tuesday Jones (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Jones has missed the last two games and seems to be trending toward a third straight absence Wednesday based on his level of practice participation. The team should provide more clarity on that front later in the day Tuesday when it releases the injury report.

Out Sunday Jones (ankle) is out Sunday against the Nuggets, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones and Brandon Ingram (toe) remain sidelined Sunday, so Trey Murphy and Dyson Daniels figure to start again. Jones' next chance to play arrives Wednesday against the Pistons.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Friday Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact As expected, Jones will not take the floor for Friday's game after suffering an ankle injury in Wednesday's game against the Raptors. Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall (illness) will likely see more playing time Friday. Jones' next chance to play will come Sunday against the Nuggets.

Unlikely to play Friday Pelicans coach Willie Green said Jones (ankle) didn't practice Thursday and is unlikely to play in Thursday's game versus the Spurs, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones will likely miss his first game since Nov. 2 due to a left ankle injury he suffered in Wednesday's game against Toronto. Trey Murphy will likely see extended playing time in his absence. Jones' next chance to play will be Sunday's game against the Nuggets if he's unavailable Friday.

Ruled out Wednesday Jones won't return to Wednesday's game against Toronto due to left ankle soreness.

Impact Jones posted 12 points, four rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes before heading to the locker room. Jones' injury doesn't appear to be too severe, as the Pelicans are probably exercising caution due to being up big on the Raptors late in the third quarter.

Has stellar defensive performance Jones totaled 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, three blocks and four steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 105-101 win over Oklahoma City.

Impact Jones finished in double figures for his second straight contest and also put together an impressive showing on defense. He swatted away three shots for the second time this season, and he tallied a season-high four steals on the way to a four-point victory. Jones is averaging 10.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists through 16 games this year.

Muted effort in victory Jones finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 129-110 win over San Antonio.

Impact Jones was limited to just 19 minutes in the win, a victim of both the score and some solid shooting off the bench. After putting together a nice stretch of games, Jones has slowed over the past two, causing angst for managers everywhere. With that said, his role appears relatively safe, and his upside in steals alone makes him a solid hold in standard leagues.

NOVEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 17 points in loss Jones finished with 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists across 36 minutes in Friday's 117-109 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Since returning from a four-game absence earlier this month, Jones has quietly re-emerged as a reliable complementary piece for the Pelicans. In his last nine games, he's averaging 12.1 points (on 51.3 percent shooting from the field) 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.2 blocks in 29.3 minutes per contest. Jones' contributions in the steals category continues to drive most of his fantasy value, but his offensive production has been trending upward of late with Zion Williamson (foot) missing the past three contests.

Impressive all-around showing Jones registered 19 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 124-121 overtime loss to the Hawks.

Impact Jones set a new season-high in points and rebounds, as he's struggled to settle in after missing four of his team's first eight games prior to Saturday's tilt due to a knee injury. However, his performance against Atlanta is a positive sign for fantasy managers, and he should have plenty of opportunities to build this performance within the next week.

Totals three steals in return Jones logged four points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Jones moved straight into the starting lineup Friday, returning after missing the past four games due to a knee injury. While he did manage just four points, he dialed things up on the defensive end, recording a season-high three steals. Anyone who drafted him this season did so in the hope he could bolster their steal numbers. Up until this game, he had failed to record a single steal and so this was certainly a welcome sight.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will return Friday Jones will start Friday against the Warriors.

Impact As expected, Jones will return to action Friday following a four-game absence due to a knee injury. The second-year forward will reclaim a spot in the starting lineup, but he may be limited to under 30 minutes during his first game action since Oct. 23.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable vs. Warriors Jones (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Impact After a four-game absence, Jones is expected to be back. However, the return coincides with the expected return of Brandon Ingram (concussion). Trey Murphy has also looked great in Jones' absence. Jones will probably re-join the starters, but his workload could take a hit.

Out Wednesday Jones (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Jones was originally expected to return from his lingering knee injury Wednesday, but he'll now officially have to wait at least one more game. The forward will likely be tabbed as questionable once again for the team's next matchup Friday versus Golden State.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Jones (knee) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Jones was previously listed as probable to play Wednesday after missing three consecutive games due to a hyperextended knee. If Jones is unable to play, expect Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall to continue to receive extended playing time.

Likely to play Wednesday Jones (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Jones is set to return Wednesday after missing three straight games due to a hyperextended knee. Jones started in the Pelicans' first three games this season, but the team may ease him back into action.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Jones will miss a third straight game after hyperextending his right knee. Zion Williamson is expected to return Sunday after missing two games due to a hip injury, but Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall should both still see solid roles in Jones' absence.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Sunday Jones (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones joins teammate Zion Williamson (hip) as a game-time decision Sunday, after missing the Pelicans previous two games due to a hyperextended knee. His availability will largely depend upon how he feels after going through warmups as an early tip-off will hamper any chances of ramping up throughout the day.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Jones was considered a game-time decision but will ultimately miss a second straight game due to a knee injury. Zion Williamson (hip) and Brandon Ingram (concussion) are also out, so Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall will likely remain in the starting lineup. However, CJ McCollum figures to be the Pelicans' go-to playmaker.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Considered game-time decision Jones (knee) is considered a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup against the Suns, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Jones missed Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a hyperextended right knee and will likely test things out during pregame warmups before the Pelicans determine his status for Friday's contest. If he's unable to play, Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall should see increased run.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable Friday Jones (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones was one of several Pelicans who sat out Tuesday's game against the Mavericks and was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Even if he's forced to miss Friday's matchup, it doesn't appear he'll be in line for a significant absence.

Impact Jones hyperextended his right knee during Sunday's loss to Utah. While he is still out Tuesday, his potential return Friday is a good sign that the second-year forward has avoided a serious injury. Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels should all see extended minutes until Jones returns.
