Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Jones will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle, and his next chance to play is in Saturday's rematch against Phoenix. Bryce McGowens will likely remain in the Pelicans' starting lineup for as long as Jones is sidelined.

Jones (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Jones suffered a sprained right ankle during Monday's game against Dallas and was unable to return, so it's not a surprise that he's being held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. In Jones' absence, the Pelicans could rely heavily on Saddiq Bey and possibly Karlo Matkovic.

Jones won't return to Monday's game against the Mavericks due to a sprained right ankle, per the broadcast.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old forward stepped on Derik Queen's foot and limped to the locker room in the third quarter. Jones will finish with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes. He can be considered highly questionable for the second leg of New Orleans' back-to-back set Tuesday against Cleveland.

Jones sustained an apparent right ankle injury and exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Mavericks, per the broadcast.
EDGE Analysis
Jones stepped on Derik Queen's foot and turned his ankle before limping to the locker room. If Jones is unable to return, Saddiq Bey, Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.

Jones (head) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jones took a shot to the face during Saturday's win over the Pacers, which ended his night early. That resulted in a migraine, but he has since been able to clear his questionable tag. He's unlikely to face any restrictions against Dallas.

Jones (head/migraine) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Jones took a shot in the face during Saturday's game against the Pacers and was unable to return. He's day-to-day, however, and it's likely that he's re-evaluated after the morning shootaround. Jordan Poole, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic could see more minutes if Jones is unable to play.

Jones has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a head injury.
EDGE Analysis
Jones got hit in the face during the first half and briefly went back to the locker room before returning to the bench. However, the issue will prevent him from finishing the contest. He'll end with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 12 minutes. Jordan Poole started the second half in Jones' place, and Micah Peavy or Karlo Matkovic could see more playing time as well. Jones' next chance to play will come Monday against Dallas.

Jones totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and eight steals in 38 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 133-128 overtime win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Jones showed exactly why he's going to be in such high demand at the trade deadline, and that's if the Pelicans decide to move him -- there's been no indication of that from New Orleans yet. Jones recorded a career-high eight steals in the comeback win and continues to provide a huge lift on both ends of the court since returning from injury.

Jones was ejected from Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers after being assessed two technical fouls, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports. He'll finish the night with four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 14 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Jones picked up two technical fouls after arguing a foul call that went against him at the end of the first half. His ejection will open the door for Bryce McGowens to see an uptick in minutes the rest of the way Thursday.

Jones (calf) logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block across 26 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Jones appeared in his first game since Nov. 21 after missing the previous eight contests due to a right calf strain. He was unable to connect from downtown but shot the ball well from inside the arc, and he also went perfect from the charity stripe. Jones' defensive effort didn't go unnoticed, racking up a team-high steal total in the tightly-contested loss.
