Herbert Jones Suffers A Back Injury
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Herbert Jones played only the first half against Washington on Monday, exiting with a lower back contusion. He took a hard fall and initially tried to play through it, but Jones was unable to take the court after the halftime break. He finished the clash with five points and one steal in 13 minutes. It was a quiet night for Jones, but he has been a great asset in general for the Pelicans and fantasy managers alike, averaging 10.0 points with 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals. Dyson Daniels started the second half in his replacement but didn't really have an impact. It's currently unknown if the injury affects Jones' long-term availability.
