Another absence coming
Bey is out for Friday's game against the Wizards due to a right hip flexor strain.
Analysis
Sunday's matchup in Orlando marks Bey's next opportunity to conclude what is set to be a five-game absence with the injury. With Herbert Jones (ankle) unlikely to play Friday, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic should have a chance to claim a more sizable role in the New Orleans frontcourt.

Out again Wednesday
Bey (hip) will remain out for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.
Analysis
Wednesday will mark the fourth consecutive game on the sideline for Bey, who is managing a right hip flexor strain. Bey's next chance to play will come Friday versus the Wizards, but once he's cleared for action, he may have to settle for a bench role with Herbert Jones having recently returned from a sprained right ankle.

Won't play Tuesday
Bey (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Lakers.
Analysis
Bey will be sidelined for a third straight game Tuesday, while Herbert Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable. For now, Bey can be considered highly questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back set Wednesday against the Hawks.

Out again Sunday
Bey (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis
Bey will miss a second consecutive game due to a right hip strain. The 26-year-old's absence should mean more opportunities for Bryce McGowens and Micah Peavy. Bey's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Lakers, which is the opening leg of a back-to-back set.

Won't suit up Friday
Bey (hip) will not play Friday against the Trail Blazers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Bey was previously listed as questionable, but he'll be sidelined for the second time this season. With Bey on the shelf, the Pelicans could give more run to guys like Micah Peavy, Jordan Hawkins and Bryce McGowens.
