It is hard to sum up just how bad the season has been for the New Orleans Pelicans.
It’s not lack of talent that is holding them back, but lack of good luck because they have had many injuries that have completely destroyed their roster.
On Tuesday morning, executive vice president David Griffin announced that Herb Jones will likely miss the remainder of the season because of a shoulder injury, according to Will Guillory.
The hits just keep on coming for New Orleans, and at this point, many fans are eager for the season to be over.
David Griffin says Herb Jones will likely be shut down for the rest of the season.

When he was first hurt in January, Jones was listed as out “indefinitely,” but people already suspected that it could have been the end of 2024-25 for him.
He has played in 20 games this year and has averaged 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists during them.
The Pelicans now have only two starters still in the lineup from the beginning of the season.
Injury after injury has brought the Pelicans down since the very first game.
When the season tipped off in October, Dejounte Murray wasn’t even able to play an entire game before injuring his hand.
He eventually came back but ended up tearing his Achilles and is now gone for the remainder of the year as well.
From Zion Williamson to CJ McCollum, Jose Alvardo, and more, it seems that just about everyone on the roster has been knocked down by injuries.
The Pelicans are currently the worst team in their conference with a 12-41 record.
This latest news about Jones is obviously very disappointing.
But at this point, it’s not even surprising for this decimated team.
