New Orleans Pelicans small forward
Matt Ryan (elbow) won't play in Thursday's in-season tournament semifinal against the Lakers, missing a 10th consecutive game. Ryan initially landed on the shelf with a calf problem, but he's now dealing with a right elbow sprain. The 26-year-old played a pretty decent role for the Pelicans when he was healthy, but with other injuries clearing up, Ryan will probably find it difficult to earn consistent minutes once he's ready to return.

New Orleans Pelicans forward
Matt Ryan (elbow) has been ruled out for the team's in-season tournament game on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a right elbow issue that has kept him out of the last eight consecutive games with a ninth upcoming. The sharpshooting forward was playing around 22 minutes per contest before he got hurt and he mainly contributed threes for fantasy managers. With the rest of the team getting healthier, this shouldn't affect the lineup too much.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward
Matt Ryan (calf) will miss a fifth consecutive game Monday versus Utah. He strained his right calf a couple of weeks back, leaving the injury-hit Pelicans without another piece off the bench. Last Monday, it was announced Ryan would be ready to return in 10-14 days, so we could see him back in action later in the week. With several players unavailable, Ryan logged a healthy 22.9 minutes per game before getting hurt, posting 9.3 points with 47.1 percent three-point shooting. His outside shooting is a great asset for the team, although Ryan's role will likely be much smaller when he returns, as the Pelicans have started to get healthy.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward
Matt Ryan (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings. He's dealing with right calf soreness and could be out for the first time this season. Ryan saw very little action during his first three years in the NBA, but he's become an integral part of the Pelicans rotation in 2023-24, averaging 22.9 minutes. The 26-year-old has provided 9.3 points and 2.3 rebounds with 47.1 percent shooting from deep.
Naji Marshall should see extra action in Ryan's absence, although there could be more small lineups used by Pelicans head coach Willie Green, especially if
Jose Alvarado (ankle) is able to make his season debut.
