Herbert Jones (ankle) ruled out for Wednesday's game

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (right ankle soreness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. He had just returned from a seven-game absence due to a sprained right ankle on Tuesday, playing 35 minutes but struggling offensively, shooting 1-of-9 from the field. This absence is likely for injury management. His next chance to play will come Friday at Washington.
