The New Orleans Pelicans will welcome Herb Jones back after missing the last five games due to a left ankle sprain.
The second-year player will be in the starting lineup against the Utah Jazz. Dyson Daniels is moving back to the bench, with Jones getting flanked by CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas at tip-off.
Willie Green did say in pregame media that Herb’s minutes will be monitored and limited.
There’s also some mildly disappointing news. Brandon Ingram suffered a minor setback in his rehabilitation process. He’ll be reevaluated in one week’s time.
