Herbert Jones recently underwent surgery on his shoulder and will be out for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Jones had to get surgery to repair a serious shoulder injury that he suffered earlier in the year. It will knock him out for the remainder of the season, but it looks like he will have a good shot at being healthy for the 2025 NBA season. Karlo Matkovic and Kelly Olynyk will both benefit from his absence moving forward.

Pelicans executive vice president David Griffin said Herb Jones will “likely be shut down for the rest of the season."

Jones suffered a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder in early January. With the Pelicans well out of playoff contention, he will likely miss the rest of the season.

The Pelicans announced that forward Herbert Jones has been diagnosed with a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder and he will be sidelined indefinitely.

Jones underwent an MRI on Thursday to confirm the injury. Brandon Boston Jr. and Javonte Green are among the players who should take on some more minutes in the absence of Jones.

Herbert Jones has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers.

Jones and Trey Murphy III were both ruled out for the Pelicans. Brandon Boston Jr. and Jordan Hawkins should be among the players who step into larger role for New Orleans.

Herbert Jones failed to score a single points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3PT) and recorded two steals before leaving Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers with a shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact

Jones wasn't able to finish New Orleans' game on Wednesday. He suffered a shoulder injury after 18 minutes of play, and it's currently unclear what the severity of the injury is. He didn't record even a single point before leaving the game, so fantasy managers were burned by this showing from the 26-year old.
