New Orleans Pelicans forward
Herbert Jones (shoulder) is now out indefinitely due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Jones will be sidelined and there likely won't be any timetable on his return for a little while. Jones left their last game against the Trail Blazers with the shoulder injury after playing 18 minutes and registering one assist and two steals. Jones has been the team's best defender, so there are some big shoes to fill for the 7-31 Pelicans. With a lot of their wings on the injury report,
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and
Brandon Boston Jr. will likely be the best streaming options.

According to Jim Eichenhofer of the New Orleans Pelicans official site, forward
Herbert Jones (shoulder) will play Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old hasn't suited up since October 29, missing 18 consecutive contests with a right shoulder strain. Being out of action for a while, Jones's minutes will most definitely be restricted until he can get back into game shape. At this time, he will not be a fantasy factor.

According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, New Orleans Pelicans forward
Herbert Jones (shoulder) will not play Monday against the Atlanta Hawks as he is dealing with a right ankle strain. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to suit up since October 29 and will miss one more game.
Yves Missi has joined the starting five since
Zion Williamson (hamstring) has also been out, and he's averaged 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game over the last 15 games. He could potentially be an option at the center for deeper fantasy leagues.
