New Orleans Pelicans Injury Report: Latest on Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram's availability (Jan. 20)

The New Orleans Pelicans host the Utah Jazz on Monday in a rematch between the Western Conference's bottom two teams. The Pelicans will aim to extend their season-best three-game winning streak, while the Jazz will attempt to snap a two-game losing skid.

New Orleans (11-32) has been ravaged by injuries all season, including to stars Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, who have combined for just 28 appearances.

The team has experienced improved health recently, as evidenced by its uptick in wins. However, an illness is sweeping through the Pelicans' roster, putting multiple players' statuses in question in addition to their remaining injuries.

Conversely, Utah (10-30) has been cautious with its top players lately, regularly resting veterans in an apparent effort to boost its NBA draft lottery odds.

The teams matched up in their most recent contest on Friday, with New Orleans securing a 136-123 home victory. Veteran guard CJ McCollum led the way with a game-high-tying 26-point performance, while Williamson added 24 points, 14 rebounds and six assists.

On the flip side, the Jazz received a combined 50 points from guards Keyonte George and Collin Sexton in a losing effort.

Entering Monday, New Orleans has five players listed on its injury report, with two ruled out. That includes Ingram, who will miss his 19th game in a row due to a left ankle sprain. Meanwhile, forward Herbert Jones remains sidelined indefinitely with a right shoulder labrum tear.
