New Orleans has dealt with multiple injury absences during its current four-game road trip. Making the circumstances even more difficult – they’ve all been at the forward position.
Whether that improves in Monday’s game at Dallas remains to be seen, because forwards Brandon Ingram (right hip contusion) and Herbert Jones (left ankle soreness) were both listed as questionable on Sunday’s official injury report. Ingram has been sidelined for each of the past four games, while Jones sat out the past two.
Zion Williamson (right foot fracture) and Daulton Hommes (G League assignment/right fibular stress fracture) remain listed as out for New Orleans.
