Ruled out for Sunday
McGowens (toe) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
McGowens will miss the final game of the 2025-26 season, though to be fair, he hasn't played for the Pelicans since March 8 due to a fractured toe. He appeared in 42 regular-season games for New Orleans and made 13 starts, averaging 8.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 21.0 minutes per game.

Ruled out for Friday
McGowens (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis
McGowens hasn't played since March 8 due to a fractured toe, and it appears unlikely he'll play again this season. His final chance to suit up will come Sunday in Minnesota.

Won't play Tuesday
McGowens (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
McGowens hasn't played since March 8 due to a fractured toe and remains without a clear timetable for a return. He can be considered doubtful ahead of New Orleans' final two regular-season games.
