Pelicans Star Poole Out, Jones Injured

The New Orleans Pelicans are navigating a difficult period marked by key player absences. Forward Herb Jones has been declared out for at least a week with a mild calf strain, a significant blow for the team's defense. This comes as Jordan Poole remains sidelined, having not played since early November.

Poole's absence has coincided with a steep decline in the Pelicans' performance, with the team managing only one victory in ten games during his time off the court. This losing streak has dropped them to nine consecutive losses, highlighting their reliance on key offensive players.

Despite the team's struggles, Zion Williamson recently returned on November 19th from an eight-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Poole's current averages are 17.3 points per game, with a 33.9% three-point shooting percentage, while Jones contributes 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals.
