Herbert Jones Ruled Out for Friday's Game, Misses Sixth Straight Due to Ankle Sprain

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, marking his sixth consecutive absence. His next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Heat. With the 27-year-old sidelined, Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy are expected to continue seeing increased playing time, particularly if Saddiq Bey (hip) is also out.
