Pelicans' Herb Jones exits Warriors game with painful injury

Yesterday at 11:40 PM

The banged-up New Orleans Pelicans are taking on a short-handed Golden State Warriors team on Tuesday night, and they have picked up another key injury of their own in the process. Defensive ace Herb Jones, one of the best stoppers in the league, went to the locker room after suffering what appeared to be a shoulder injury while diving for a loose ball, according to Pelicans sideline reporter Andrew Lopez.

Jones initially tried to stretch his shoulder out after Golden State’s Brandin Podziemski dove on top of him, but ended up having to go get it checked out.

The Pelicans can’t afford to lose another defender on the perimeter, as they’re already playing without Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy III due to injuries.

This story will be updated.
