Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Provides lift off bench in return
Poole (quadriceps) tallied 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's 143-120 win over the Trail Blazers.
Back in action after missing the Pelicans' previous 18 games due to a left quadriceps strain, Poole wasn't shy about putting up shots in his return, as his 30.6 percent usage rate paced all New Orleans rotation players. A more efficient showing from three-point range could have made Poole's stat line even more appealing, but he was still a plus-18 during his time on the court. Poole had opened the season on the top unit, but he moved to the bench shortly before injuring his quad and appears likely to serve as New Orleans' sixth man now that he's healthy again while the Pelicans remain committed to giving rookie first-round pick Jeremiah Fears an extended look as their starting point guard. Poole should still see enough minutes and usage to remain worthy of holding in most leagues, though he may eventually have to sacrifice some touches once the likes of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Zion Williamson (adductor) return a few weeks down the road.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Will go Thursday
Poole (quadriceps) is available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Poole will play for the first time since Nov. 4 after putting a left quad strain behind him. He figures to be on some type of minutes restriction Thursday as the team eases him back into game action, though it's unclear as to what that limit might look like.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Gets questionable tag
Poole (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
It's a significant upgrade in status for Poole, who hadn't drawn a single questionable tag since going down with a left quadriceps strain in early November. The star guard is likely to have restrictions on his playing time if he suits up, considering how much time he's spent on the shelf. The fantasy value of both Jeremiah Fears and Jose Alvarado is likely to take a considerable hit once Poole returns.

Poole (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Poole will miss his 14th consecutive contest due to a left quadriceps strain.

Poole (quadriceps) has been cleared to resume basketball activities, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Poole is set to miss his 11th consecutive contest Monday due to a left quadriceps strain, though he appears to be nearing a return.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Making progress, out another week
The Pelicans announced Friday that Poole (quadriceps) will be re-assessed in approximately one week.
Poole was evaluated Friday, and while the evaluation showed he's been making progress in his recovery from a strained left quad, he'll be sidelined for at least another week. If the 26-year-old can return exactly a week from Friday, he could appear in a road game against Dallas. In the meantime, Jeremiah Fears should hold down point guard duties while Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could see a bump in playing time.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Out 7-10 days
The Pelicans announced Friday that Poole has been diagnosed with a mild left quadriceps strain, and he will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.
This is a tough break for Poole and the Pelicans. Based on this timeline, the earliest possible return date is Nov. 16 against the Thunder, but that's far from a guarantee. With Poole joining Zion Williamson (hamstring) on the sidelines for the next week, Trey Murphy is likely to soak up even more usage, and Jeremiah Fears will have a pretty large runway to make some noise. Additionally, guys like Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could find themselves with more opportunities.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: No-go Wednesday
Poole (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Poole was initially deemed questionable due to left knee soreness, and the ailment will result in his first absence of the campaign. Look for Jordan Hawkins and Jose Alvarado to see a bump in playing time, while Jeremiah Fears could be leaned on even more offensively. Poole's next chance to play will come Saturday at San Antonio.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Questionable for Tuesday
Poole (knee) is ruled questionable for Wednesday's game in Dallas.
Poole is a new addition to New Orleans' injury report after starting against Charlotte on Tuesday, but this may be a precaution as Wednesday's contest is the second leg of a back-to-back. If Poole can't go, expect Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins to see extended playing time as a result.
