CJ McCollum back on Tuesday?

New Orleans Pelicans coach Willie Green said CJ McCollum is progressing well after being placed in the NBA’s health and safety protocols last week and that there is a chance the high-scoring guard can return to the floor Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. “We’re hopeful,” Green said. “We’ll see how it goes. He’s got to get a couple negative tests. He’s progressing.”

CJ McCollum was placed in the health and safety protocols Thursday. He wasn’t at practice today, but Willie Green didn’t rule out the possibility he plays tomorrow.

#Pelicans scoring by committee without McCollum/Ingram tonight in first half:
Marshall 9, Valanciunas 8, Murphy 8, Jones 7, Hayes 5, Graham 5, Hernangomez 4 – 9:03 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Herbert Jones is definitely putting into practice the idea of #Pelicans needing to attack more and be aggressive without Ingram and McCollum in the lineup. Including dunking on people – 8:22 PM

Malika Andrews: Kevin Durant, in part, on Kyrie Irving being in Barclays but unable to play: “It’s ridiculous… At this point now someone is trying to make a statement or a point to flex their authority.
