Herbert Jones DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, New Orleans Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said on Tuesday that he expects forward Herbert Jones(shoulder)to miss the remainder of the season. Jones has been sidelined and recovering from a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder that he suffered on January 8th. Griffin hasn't indicated if Jones will get surgery to address the injury. The 26-year-old had played in 20 games this season averaging 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 32.4 minutes per contest.

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, forwardHerbert 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.
