Pelicans Injury Report: Who's In, Who's Out, and When They'll Be Back




Pelicans fans, brace yourselves. The injury bug has hit the team hard, leaving a trail of sidelined stars and a lot of uncertainty in its wake. But fear not, we've got the lowdown on who's hurt, how long they'll be out, and when they might be back on the court.
Zion Williamson:
The biggest blow to the Pelicans came when Zion Williamson went down with a broken foot. It's a devastating blow for a player who was just starting to find his groove this season. The good news is that Zion is expected to be back by the playoffs, so there's still hope for a deep run.
Brandon Ingram:
Another key piece of the Pelicans' puzzle, Brandon Ingram, is also sidelined with a sprained ankle. Ingram is a versatile scorer and defender, and his absence has been felt on both ends of the court. He's expected to miss a few more weeks, but the Pelicans should get him back before the All-Star break.
CJ McCollum:
The Pelicans' veteran leader, CJ McCollum, has been dealing with a sore foot that has kept him out of the lineup sporadically. McCollum is a steady presence for the team, and his absence has been noticeable. He's day-to-day, so there's a chance he could be back soon.
Herbert Jones:
The Pelicans' defensive backbone, Herbert Jones, has missed the last few games with a sprained knee. Jones is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and his absence has hurt the Pelicans' ability to stop opponents. He's expected to miss a couple more weeks, but his return will be a big boost for the team.
Jonas Valanciunas:
The Pelicans' starting center, Jonas Valanciunas, has been struggling with a sore Achilles. Valanciunas is a physical presence in the paint, and his absence has made it harder for the Pelicans to rebound and protect the rim. He's expected to be out for a couple more weeks, but his return will give the Pelicans a much-needed boost.
Naji Marshall:
The Pelicans' young wing, Naji Marshall, has also been dealing with a sore foot. Marshall is a versatile defender and a solid scorer off the bench, and his absence has been a blow to the team's depth. He's expected to miss a few more weeks, but his return will add some much-needed energy to the bench.
Call to Action:
Pelicans fans, it's time to rally around your team. Despite the injuries, the Pelicans are still in contention for a playoff spot. Let's stay positive, support our players, and hope for a healthy and successful rest of the season. Go Pelicans!
