Cole (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Nuggets, Pelicans studio host Daniel Sallerson reports.

Analysis:

Cole has missed the last 11 games with recurring soreness in his back, and the Pelicans continue to handle the situation on a day-to-day basis. Considering the team has nothing but draft position to play for at this point, Cole is unlikely to return until he's closer to 100 percent.
