The 26-year-old hasn't suited up since October 29, missing 18 consecutive contests with a right shoulder strain.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) has been trending in the right direction but he's not quite ready to appear in a game. While he's taken part in some of the non-contact parts of practice, his shoulder hasn't been cleared to give it a full go. The team has ruled him out for Sunday against the New York Knicks, but a return could finally be closing in. While he remains sidelined along with Brandon Ingram (calf) and Jordan Hawkins (back), Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. should keep getting some added minutes.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors, marking his 15th consecutive absence. However, there is some optimism for his return as he participated in non-contact portions of Tuesday's practice. Managers will need to remain patient as Jones progresses toward full-contact work.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) will miss a 14th straight game on Monday versus Indiana. Jones was ruled out for 2-4 weeks with a right shoulder sprain at the start of the month, meaning he's getting close to returning. But Monday's game comes too soon for him.

However, the Pelicans rotation will soon get a major tweak, with CJ McCollum (adductor) and Dejounte Murray (hand) on the cusp of rejoining the action. There's a strong chance McCollum will already be back on Monday.
Herbert Jones To Miss A Significant Amount Of Time With Shoulder Injury

His recovery timeframe is approximately 2-4 weeks. Jones's return to play will be based on how he responds to treatment and rehabilitation.

He exited the contest in the third quarter, finishing with five points, three rebounds, and one steal in 20 minutes. The two teams meet again on Wednesday, and Jones should be regarded as questionable for the game. Javonte Green and Jordan Hawkins could receive additional minutes with Jones out.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back, hip) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Nets. The versatile 25-year-old has been upgraded from probable to available. Jones makes a return after missing one game with a hip and lower back contusion. He should take on his normal role as a starter, pushing Trey Murphy III to the bench. However, Murphy III should still see plenty of action, and both players look to be set up for success on Tuesday as good three-point shooters -- opposing players are hitting 37.6 percent from deep against Brooklyn, which is the fifth-highest percentage in the league.
