Cole (back) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Pacers, Mark Montieth of Pacers.com reports.

Analysis:

Cole's streak of absences will run to nine straight games Thursday as he continues to nurse a back injury. New Orleans is already without a number of its regulars, so expect Jrue Holiday, Toney Douglas and Tim Frazier to again handle most of the backcourt duties.
