The Pelicans have suffered a harsh indefinite setback

The New Orleans Pelicans seem to have had a stroke of bad luck this season. The Louisiana franchise started the NBA season with many injuries to their key players. Now that Zion Williamson is back, the team has suffered another indefinite loss.

The Pelicans have announced that Herbert Jones has been diagnosed with a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder. An MRI confirmed the injury.

Jones is one of the top defensive specialists in the NBA. Whether he stayed in NOLA or was traded, he was going to be important for the franchise's future. Now the latter seems unlikely.

With the trade deadline in February, few teams will want to risk a trade for a player injured indefinitely.
