Heat's Jimmy Butler, 3 others, ejected after scuffle with Pelicans
Miami’s Jimmy Butler was among four players ejected after a scuffle early in the fourth quarter in the Heat’s 106-95 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday nightFEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jose Alvarado - Ejected after altercation Alvarado was ejected from Friday's game versus Miami with 11:19 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Impact After things escalated between Jimmy Butler and Naji Marshall on the court, Alvarado got into a scrap with Thomas Bryant on the sidelines and punches were thrown from both sides. This puts Alvarado's status for Sunday's game against Chicago in jeopardy, and that's not ideal for the Pelicans since C.J. McCollum left this game with an ankle injury. Alvarado finished with five points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes.

Naji Marshall - Ejected Friday Marshall was ejected from Friday's game against Miami with 11:19 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Impact Jimmy Butler approached Marhsall and things quickly escalated, and it appeared as though Marshall put a hand around Butler's neck. That could warrant a suspension, putting his status for Sunday's game against Chicago in jeopardy. Marshall finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block in 14 minutes.
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Will not return Friday McCollum will not return to Friday's game against Miami with a left ankle issue. He finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes...
Impact The Pelicans initially said McCollum was questionable to return, only to rule him out a few minutes later. The severity of the injury is unknown, so the veteran should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago. Jose Alvarado started the second half in McCollum's place.

Zion Williamson - Good to go Williamson (foot) is available for Friday's matchup with the Heat,
Impact Williamson has been a regular on the Pelicans' injury report since Late January due to a bruised foot, but he has managed to appear in nine of their last 11 games. Barring any setbacks, the star big man should presumably see his usual workload against Miami.

Brandon Ingram - Remains out Ingram (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.
Impact Ingram will miss a second straight game due to an illness, and his next chance to return will come Sunday versus Chicago. In his absence Thursday, Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy all stepped up during a blowout win over Houston, while Jordan Hawkins was involved in the rotation again after not playing in the final two games before the All-Star break.

Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram Questionable Against Miami Pelicans uncertain if their two best players will be available versus the Heat on Friday.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Zion Williamson - Questionable for Friday Williamson is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat due to a left foot contusion, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact This isn't a new injury for Williamson, who's been a regular on the injury report since late January due to a bruised foot. He's appeared in nine of the Pelicans' last 11 games, suggesting the issue is minor, but he hasn't played both halves of back-to-back sets during that stretch. It wouldn't be surprising to see him sit Friday after posting 27 points, nine assists, two steals and a block in 35 minutes during Thursday's blowout win over Houston.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Ingram - Questionable for Friday Ingram (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Miami.
Impact Ingram was unavailable for Thursday's game against Houston, and it's not yet clear whether he'll suit up in the second half of the back-to-back set. If he sits out, Jordan Hawkins could see increased run once again.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Valanciunas - Strong double-double in win Valanciunas provided 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 victory over Houston.
Impact The Pelicans dominated this game from start to finish, and Valanciunas made a huge impact on both ends of the court. The veteran big man has recorded three double-doubles over his last seven appearances, a span in which he's putting up 11.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.7 blocks per contest in that stretch.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Zion Williamson - Stuffs stat sheet Thursday Williamson closed Thursday's 127-105 win over the Rockets with 27 points (12-21 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes.
Impact Williamson has been thriving as a playmaker in recent weeks, and he has registered eight or more assists three times in that span. Combining those assist numbers with his consistent scoring exploits has bolstered Williamson's upside even further, and he's putting up 25.6 points, 7.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game across his last five appearances.
FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Goes for 28 points Thursday McCollum contributed 28 points (11-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 victory over Houston.
Impact McCollum scored 26 points in the Pelicans' final game before the All-Star break, and he bested that performance with this outing -- it was just the seventh time he cleared the 25-point hurdle. McCollum has been forced to adjust to a different role compared to the one he had with the Trail Blazers, but he remains a reliable fantasy alternative. Over his last 10 appearances, McCollum is averaging 19.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 45.9 percent from the field.
