Pelicans' Herbert Jones Returns from 8-Game Calf Injury Absence

Herbert Jones (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs, shedding his questionable tag. He returns after an eight-game absence due to a right calf injury. His return will likely send Bryce McGowens to the bench and reduce Micah Peavy's playing time. In 16 appearances this 2025-26 season, the 27-year-old forward has averaged 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.4 steals in 30.3 minutes per contest.
