Jordan Poole will sit out Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks due to a knee injury. Initially listed as questionable, the 26-year-old guard’s absence leaves the Pelicans exploring several options to fill the gap. Potential replacements in the starting lineup include Jordan Hawkins, Saddiq Bey, and Jose Alvarado. Additionally, rookie Jeremiah Fears is expected to gain increased minutes and usage in Poole’s stead.
