Brandon Ingram - Ruled out Friday Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Dereon Seabron - Sent back to G League Seabron was designated to the Pelicans' G League affiliate Birmingham Squadron on Thursday.
Impact Seabron was joined by Kira Lewis on the trip to Birmingham after being a non-factor in the Pelicans' rotation for the duration of his time in the NBA. He should remain a top option for the Squadron for as long as he remains with the team.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kira Lewis Jr. - Sent to G League Lewis was assigned to the G League Birmingham Squadron on Thursday.
Impact Lewis has yet to take the floor for the Pelicans due to a knee injury and seemed slated to make his first NBA run of the season; however, his debut will have to wait as he spends more time with the Squadron. He should remain a top option for Birmingham for as long as he's there.

Naji Marshall - Practices Thursday Marshall (illness) took the floor for practice Thursday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact While the injury report released later in the day should provide a more definitive word on Marshall's availability for Friday, his participation in practice would seemingly line him up to rejoin the action. With Brandon Ingram (toe) and Herbert Jones (ankle) both expected to sit versus the Spurs, Marshall could see more minutes than usual if he is feeling up to it.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Practices Thursday McCollum (conditioning) practiced Thursday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McCollum has missed the last four games due to the league's health and safety protocols and conditioning issues, but he seems to be trending toward returning to game action. The Pelicans haven't yet released their injury report for Friday's game against the Spurs, but it wouldn't be surprising to see McCollum back on the court after participating in practice.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Herbert Jones - 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.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Ingram - Unlikely to play Friday Ingram (toe) is unlikely to play Friday against the Spurs, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Ingram has missed the last two games due to his toe injury, and he was unable to participate in Thursday's practice session. If he's held out once again Friday, Trey Murphy will likely retain a starting role.

Devonte' Graham - Poor shooting in victory Graham closed Wednesday's 126-108 win over Toronto with two points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 20 minutes.
Impact Graham wasn't able to connect on any of his field-goal attempts Wednesday. However, his poor shooting didn't cost the team, as the Pelicans won by 18 points.

Dyson Daniels - Posts 14 points, nine dimes Daniels finished with 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-108 victory over the Raptors.
Impact Dyson put together a very solid first half with eight points on 3-of-5 shooting along with five assists, three rebounds in a steal off the bench for New Orleans. He continued on that pace over the final two quarters with another five boards and six points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field as the Pelicans continued to run away with the game. Dyson recorded season highs in points (14), assists (9) and minutes played (31) and will look to continue his solid play in the Pelicans' next contest against the Spurs in San Antonio on Friday.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Murphy III - Third straight 20-point game Murphy registered 26 points (8-17 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 126-108 win over the Raptors.
Impact Murphy came off the bench and did most of his damage in the second quarter on 4-of-6 shooting from the field for 12 points, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. He chipped in another 11 points in the second half while also grabbing three rebounds in the final quarter as the Raptors failed to keep pace with a red-hot Pelicans offense. Murphy has now recorded three 20-point games in a row after previously failing to reach that mark in all but one game this season.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Valanciunas - Another double-double in win Valanciunas posted 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 126-108 victory over Toronto.
Impact Valanciunas nearly had a double-double by halftime, scoring nine points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field to go along with 10 rebounds over the first two quarters. The Pelicans center added another seven points and three boards in the third quarter to give him 13 rebounds on the night, which led all players. Valanciunas has recorded a double-double in three of his last five games while shooting 63 percent from the field over that stretch.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Zion Williamson - Season-high 33 points Williamson closed with 33 points (12-15 FG, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and four steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 126-108 victory over the Raptors.
Impact Williamson went 5-of-5 from the field with 11 points and four assists during a 40-point first quarter for the Pelicans. He finished the first half with 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting and remained hot in the second half, missing just two of his seven shot attempts on his way to a season-high 33 points to go along with five boards, two steals and two blocks. The New Orleans power forward also matched a season high with four steals in the contest and continues to shine across in every stat category except for three-point shooting, where he's just 1-of-4 over his last eight games.
