Cole (back) will remain out for Monday's game against the Bulls, Justin Verrier of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Cole hasn't been cleared to return Monday, and with only one more game remaining on the Pelicans' schedule, the point guard's season is likely over. In his absence, Toney Douglas and Tim Frazier will continue to assume increased roles.
