New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Suns after clearing left ankle soreness. Poole missed Tuesday's loss but had been functioning as a bench contributor prior to the absence. Over his last five games, he averaged 16.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 27.3 minutes, reflecting a stable second-unit role. If he resumes that usage, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins would likely see reduced guard minutes and touches. Even in a reserve role, Poole offers situational fantasy value through scoring and free-throw percentage, though field-goal efficiency continues to cap his upside.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) could miss another game Friday night when his team hosts the Phoenix Suns. Poole also missed Tuesday's blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the ankle issue. Following an extended absence in November and early December, Poole is now a bench player in the Pelicans' rotation. He's still getting plenty of shots up (double digits in every game this season) with mixed efficiency. He averaged 16.6 points and 3.2 assists in about 27 minutes in his last five games off the bench.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) and forward Herbert Jones (ankle) will be missing from the lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both players are dealing with ankle injuries. Bryce McGowens will take Jones' spot in the starting lineup. As a starter, McGowens has been quite productive this season, averaging 13.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in five games.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (quadriceps) has received the green light to play on Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The team has upgraded Poole's status from questionable to available. The savvy scorer has been out since early November, making only seven appearances this season. Due to his long layoff, Poole may only see limited action on Thursday. However, once he is back in shape, Poole could be set for a huge stretch, with Zion Williamson (adductor) on the shelf. Before straining his left quadriceps, Poole posted 17.3 points and 3.4 assists in 30.3 minutes per game.

New Orleans Pelicans guardJordan Poole(quad)is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Poole has missed 18 consecutive contests due to a quad strain and hasn't been labeled questionable since the injury occurred, dating back to November 4. If the 26-year-old is still unable to return on Thursday,Jeremiah Fearsand Jose Alvarado will continue to carry heavy workloads, helping out Trey Murphy III and the Pelicans' backcourt.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (quad) will miss his 18th consecutive game on Monday while dealing with a quad strain. His timetable is still unclear, so there's no telling how much time he'll continue to miss. While he's sidelined, Jeremiah Fears and Bryce McGowens have been anchoring the backcourt with Trey Murphy III mixed in as well. Fears has been delivering good value and has now started in 22 of his 24 games played. In those starts with added minutes, he's averaged 15.9 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.7% from the floor with a usage of 26.1%.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (quadriceps) has been ruled out with a left quadriceps strain, according to the team. Poole will be re-evaluated in the next 7-10 days. The 26-year-old has appeared in seven games for the Pelicans, starting four. Poole is averaging 17.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game as the team's second option behind also injured Zion Williamson (hamstring). With Poole sidelined, expect to see an increased role for rookie Jeremiah Fears as he continues to carve out a role with the team.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Washington Wizards are trading guard Jordan Poole to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for guard CJ McCollum and forward/center Kelly Olynyk. The Pelicans will also receive forward Saddiq Bey (knee). Poole is coming off his best season in the league, averaging 20.5 points, 4.5 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 37.8% from behind the three-point line. The 26-year-old will get a fresh start in New Orleans after spending time in Golden State before his stint in Washington. With that said, he may have a tough time staying as productive, especially if forwards Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III (shoulder) are healthy. Still, Poole should remain a viable fantasy option as it relates to his prowess as a scorer. Outside of that, he isn't very consistent in other statistical areas.

Washington Wizards guardJordan Poole(elbow) is unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Friday will mark the second game in a row the 25-year-old has missed due to a right elbow contusion. His last chance to suit up before the regular season concludes is Sunday against the Miami Heat. AJ Johnson will likely take on a heavier workload while Poole is on the shelf. Johnson was in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Sixers and registered seven points, four rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.

Washington Wizards guardJordan Poole (elbow) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right elbow contusion. The Wizards are staying on the cautious end, keeping Poole out of tonight's action as they are on the back end of back-to-back games. The 25-year-old finished with 19 points, one rebound and three assists across 19 minutes in a 104-98 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday. Marcus Smart andBub Carrington will likely absorb most of the available minutes in the backcourt this evening.

Washington Wizards guardJordan Poole(elbow) is unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 25-year-old will be sidelined for the first time since March 5 due to an elbow issue. Poole played on Wednesday against the Kings and posted 23 points, two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Boston Celtics. Marcus SmartandBub Carringtonwill likely absorb most of the available minutes in the backcourt this evening.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) is good to go for Wednesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Poole's status has been upgraded a couple of times throughout the day, going from doubtful to available. The talented scorer has had a good campaign in Washington, but the team has recently begun limiting Poole's minutes, which means fantasy managers aren't getting full value out of him. This month, Poole has averaged only 24.2 minutes per game, putting up 18.3 points while registering 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's clash against the Utah Jazz. The 2022 NBA champion has sustained an elbow contusion and may be absent for the ninth time this season. Marcus Smart (illness) and Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) have already been ruled out for Wednesday, leaving the Wizards potentially very thin in the backcourt. AJ Johnson, Bub Carrington, Colby Jones, and Jaylen Martin all received plenty of burn on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers and look set to be heavily involved again in Wednesday's contest.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) will make his return to the court ahead of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Poole will be back in action on Saturday after missing each of the last three games due to an elbow injury. It doesn't sound like Poole is going to be limited and he'll slide back into the starting five for this game. Before going down, Poole was on a hot streak with two games in a row of 24 points or more. Fantasy managers who have Poole rostered can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) is tagged as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Poole has missed the last three games due to an elbow issue and is in danger of missing a fourth straight contest. Before the injury, Poole was playing better with two straight games of 24 points or more. His absence has opened up the door for Bub Carrington to play more minutes in the rotation. Carrington nearly had a double-double during his last game and is looking like a solid streaming choice if Poole remains out on Saturday.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) will remain out on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. He has not fully recovered from a right elbow hyperextension. Bub Carrington has rejoined the starting lineup during Poole's absence. While he can be frustrating to watch for fantasy managers, the rookie has performed fairly well in his first year in the league. In 41 previous starts, Carrington has averaged 10.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. Marcus Smart also benefits from Poole's absence.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Poole will miss his second straight game due to a hyperextended elbow. The team hasn't given a timetable on his return, but his next chance to play will be on Wednesday. Bub Carrington and Marcus Smart are expected to see increased run while Poole is out. Both players are decent streaming options, but Carrington is the better choice between the two right now.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) won't play on Saturday against the Hornets. Two of the worst clubs in the National Basketball Association will go at it on Saturday night. However, the Wizards will need to find a way to win without Poole, who is sidelined with a hyperextended right elbow. With Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) also ruled out, Alexandre Sarr (ankle), Bilal Coulibaly, Khris Middleton, Corey Kispert, and Bub Carrington should all benefit on the offensive end. Yet, Sarr may miss another contest, meaning Coulibaly, Middleton, Kispert, and Carrington should see even more scoring opportunities. The same can be said for Marcus Smart, who had 10 points, three assists, and one steal in the loss to Portland on Wednesday.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (illness) will play against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. An illness gave Poole a late questionable tag, but he has been cleared to play and will start the contest alongside Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Kyle Kuzma, and Jonas Valanciunas. Poole has saved some of his best performances of the season for the Hornets, averaging 26.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 1.5 steals against them.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole missed Sunday's loss to the Pelicans with a left hip contusion, and he was listed as questionable for Tuesday's home game against the Rockets. Poole has a team-high 28.8% usage rate in his 28 games this season, averaging 21.8 points, 5.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest. Before being sidelined, Poole had at least 25 points in six straight games, and if he returns, he'll have his typical extremely high ceiling. The Wizards' rotation is very uncertain, though, since Poole is joined by Bilal Coulibaly (illness) and Bub Carrington (ankle) as questionable while Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has already been ruled out. If Poole is out, Carrington would fill in, but if he's out as well, Jared Butler and Kyshawn George would be asked to step up once again.
