Zion Williamson - Says he'll play Wednesday Williamson (ankle) said Monday that he'll play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Williamson was a limited participant at practice Sunday but returned in a full capacity Monday. Assuming the power forward is available for Wednesday's season opener, it's possible that the team monitors his workload since he missed time during the preseason and has struggled to stay healthy over the last few years.

Zion Williamson - Limited in practice Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Williamson (ankle) was limited in practice Sunday but should practice fully Monday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It's encouraging to see Williamson back on the floor, albeit in a limited capacity, after tweaking his ankle during last Wednesday's preseason contest. Given his expected participation at Monday's practice, it looks like the superstar forward will be good to go for Wednesday's season opener against the Nets. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if New Orleans continues to exercise the utmost caution with Williamson after he missed the entire 2021-22 campaign with a foot injury.

Herbert Jones - Decent showing in preseason finale Jones logged 24 minutes and registered 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in Friday's preseason game against the Hawks.
Impact Jones saw a healthy dose of playing time in his squad's final preseason contest and appeared ready for the 2022 campaign after his October was interrupted by a nagging rib injury. He's in line to open the regular season as the Pelicans' starter at small forward, with Zion Williamson (ankle) and Jonas Valanciunas rounding out the frontcourt.

Naji Marshall - Continues solid preseason Marshall tallied 13 points (6-9 FT, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes in Friday's exhibition against Atlanta.
Impact Marshall saw plenty of opportunities off the bench in this one and put together an efficient evening, contributing across the board. While he has put together an impressive preseason, he'll have his work cut out for him, as he'll have to compete with the likes of Jaxson Hayes, Larry Nance, Dyson Daniels and Trey Murphy just to carve out a bench role.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Ingram - No rust to shake off Ingram finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes in Friday's preseason game against the Hawks.
Impact Ingram didn't miss a beat in his preseason debut, shooting efficiently from the field while also distributing the basketball. He missed the last few exhibitions due to a toe injury but will be at full strength entering the regular-season opener Wednesday in Brooklyn.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Valanciunas - Appears ready for regular season Valanciunas registered 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's preseason game against the Hawks.
Impact Valanciunas looked strong in his final tune-up, logging a double-double in just over 21 minutes of work. The big man averaged 17.8 points and 11.4 rebounds along with 2.6 assists over 74 games a season ago and should be leaned on heavily yet again throughout the 2022 campaign.

Dyson Daniels - Returns to lineup Friday Daniels (ankle) is available for Friday's preseason matchup with the Hawks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact Daniels missed Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Heat due to a right ankle sprain. It does not appear that Daniels will miss any more time and is set to have a reserve role for the Pelicans this season.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Larry Nance Jr. - Cleared for preseason finale Nance is available for Friday's preseason finale against the Hawks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact Nance has been dealing with foot soreness that kept him out of Wednesday's exhibition, but he'll return to action during Friday's preseason finale. If healthy, the athletic big man could carve out a solid depth role behind Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas, especially with Jaxson Hayes (elbow) expected to miss the start of the regular season.
