Impact Ingram was rusty in his return, going 4-for-18 from the field and committing four turnovers, but coach Willie Green isn't worried and will give the forward more action in his second game back. In the 11 games prior to Ingram's injury, he averaged 21.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 34.9 minutes.

2023 NBA All-Star Game: Which players were snubbed as starters?
Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe believe there were several players who were snubbed from being named starters in the NBA All-Star Game.JANUARY 27, 2023
Kira Lewis Jr. - Recalled by Pelicans Lewis was recalled by the Pelicans from the team's G League affiliate Friday.
Impact Lewis has accumulated 15.5 points, 3.4 assists and 2.3 rebounds over 26.5 minutes per game in his 11 appearances with the Squadron, but he'll be back with the Pelicans and available to provide depth in the backcourt Saturday. That said, most of New Orleans' backcourt options are healthy, so he may not see much action.

Herbert Jones - Modest results in defeat Jones closed Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves with four points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes.
Impact Jones was inefficient from the floor Wednesday and was held to a single-digit scoring total for a second consecutive matchup while also failing to record a steal or a block in a game for the first time since Dec. 17. He's been inefficient over his four appearances since returning to the court, averaging 7.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per game.

Naji Marshall - Gets good minutes in return Marshall (toe) played 27 minutes and finished with five points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Ti...
Impact Marshall was back in action after a three-game absence, but because his return coincided with Brandon Ingram's (toe) comeback from a two-month hiatus, the former player was unable to reclaim a spot in the starting five. Marshall still saw a healthy workload off the bench, cutting into the playing time of Herbert Jones (26 minutes) and Trey Murphy (20 minutes) in the process. Marshall may be able to maintain a near-25-minute role for the foreseeable future while Zion Williamson (hamstring) faces an uncertain timeline for a return, but look for Marshall's usage to take a hit now that Ingram is back on the fold. Before missing the past three games, Marshall reached double figures in scoring in each of his prior 10 appearances and put up 13.1 field-goal attempts per contest.

Jonas Valanciunas - Posts neat final line Valanciunas ended Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds and one block in 29 minutes.
Impact Valanciunas was locked in from the field and locked up another double-double in the loss. Fantasy managers have to be pleased with the consistency that the big man has brought of late, as he's secured a double-double in six of his last seven contests while tallying a block in his last four.

Brandon Ingram - Looks rusty in return Ingram (toe) logged 13 points (4-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact After sitting out the Pelicans' last 29 contests while on the mend from a bruised left toe, Ingram unsurprisingly struggled with his efficiency in his first game action in two months. He came up empty on all six of his shot attempts from long range, marking just the third time all season he failed to knock down a three-point shot. On a positive note, Ingram saw a healthy amount of playing time in his first game back, and he should see his minutes load ramp up in the games to come as he becomes further removed from the toe injury.
JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Makes impact from deep McCollum provided 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact McCollum managed to bounce back following a horrendous 0-for-8 night from three Tuesday against the Nuggets, as he scored 15 of his 25 points from deep in Wednesday's loss. He also offered up unexpected production on the defensive end by swatting away two shots. McCollum is now averaging 25.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists through 12 January appearances.
