The Pelicans announced that Poole is dealing with left ankle soreness<\/a> and will be evaluated ahead of Friday\u2019s 8:00 p.m. ET tip-off. The designation comes as New Orleans looks to stabilize its rotation following a challenging first half of the season.<\/p>\n

Poole last appeared Monday night in a 119\u2013113 win over the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>. In that contest, the veteran guard recorded 14 points, two rebounds and one assist while shooting 4-for-12 from the field, 2-for-8 from three-point range and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line in 27 minutes.<\/p>\n

Now in his first season with the New Orleans Pelicans, Poole has appeared in 12 games, including four starts. The 26-year-old is averaging 17.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game while playing 29.1 minutes per contest. His shooting numbers have fluctuated, as he is connecting on 36.9% of his field-goal attempts and 29.7% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

Jones, a former All-Defensive First Team selection, has been a key presence on both ends of the floor this season. Through 22 games, he is averaging 9.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 40.7% from the field and 34.4% from three-point range in 28.0 minutes per outing.<\/p>\n

The Pelicans will face Phoenix again Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. ET to close the back-to-back set. Following the homestand opener, New Orleans is scheduled to host the New York Knicks (21-9) on Monday at 8:00 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

With the team still navigating injuries and lineup adjustments, Poole\u2019s status will remain a focal point as New Orleans looks to gain momentum during the homestand.<\/p>\n
