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.

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. The 25-year-old has appeared in just four games this season, struggling with his shooting at 18.2% from beyond the arc and 50% from the free-throw line, areas he'll look to improve upon when he gets back on the court.

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. Brandon Boston Jr. and Jordan Hawkins should continue to see extended minutes during Jones' absence. 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.
