Herbert Jones (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, marking his seventh consecutive absence. The New Orleans Pelicans have not provided any updates on his recovery, making him doubtful for Saturday's game in Brooklyn. Saddiq Bey and Bryce McGowens are expected to continue seeing increased minutes for the banged-up Pelicans due to his ongoing absence.
