CJ McCollum was re-evaluated on Friday by New Orleans Pelicans’ team physicians and has been diagnosed with a right adductor strain. The injury occurred during Tuesday’s game at Golden State. McCollum is expected to miss approximately 2-3 weeks.
McCollum is averaging 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 34.2 minutes over four games to start the season.
Herb Jones, who injured his right shoulder during Tuesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, underwent further re-evaluation by team physicians and additional imaging on Friday. Upon re-evaluation, it was determined that Jones sustained a right shoulder strain and small low-grade partial thickness tear in his rotator cuff.
Jones’ recovery timeframe is approximately 2-4 weeks and his return to play will be based on how he responds to treatment and rehabilitation.
