Jordan Poole is set to be re-evaluated in 7-10 days due to a left quad strain, as reported by NBA insider Chris B. Haynes. This opens the door for rookie Jeremiah Fears to see more court time. Meanwhile, Jordan Hawkins and Jose Alvarado are also expected to benefit from increased roles in Poole’s absence.

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.

Jordan Poole delivered an impressive performance with 30 points off the bench for the Pelicans, demonstrating his scoring prowess by hitting seven three-pointers and maintaining a perfect free-throw record. Despite being shifted to a bench role, Poole’s display reinforces his potential for top-100 fantasy value. Meanwhile, rookie Jeremiah Fears struggled with his shooting but contributed eight assists and four steals, underscoring the team’s focus on his development as a starting point guard.

Jordan Poole contributed 15 points, two rebounds, and four assists in 18 minutes during New Orleans’ 127-92 preseason win. Despite a challenging 1-of-5 shooting performance, Poole capitalized with a flawless 8-of-8 from the free throw line. As he adjusts to his new role, Poole has amassed 26 points on a 4-of-14 shooting in his initial preseason outings.

Jordan Poole made a solid unofficial debut with the Pelicans, contributing 11 points, four rebounds, and four assists in a preseason win against Melbourne United. With Dejounte Murray out, Poole assumed a larger playmaking role, though he shared responsibilities with Zion Williamson, who led the team in assists. Poole’s fantasy value may rise with increased opportunities, but the ongoing adjustment period with his new team could impact his consistency.
