Pelicans Injury Update: Zion Williamson Out vs. Nuggets
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson suffered an injury late in his team's Play-In game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Williamson exited the game with a right hamstring injury and did not return. The Pelicans went on to lose the game 113-103, eliminating them from the playoffs.
The Pelicans have not yet released an official diagnosis or timeline for Williamson's return. However, it is likely that he will miss at least the first few games of the regular season. This is a significant blow to the Pelicans, who were hoping to make a playoff run this season with Williamson leading the way.
Williamson is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA. He averaged 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game this season. He was also named an All-Star for the first time in his career.
The Pelicans will now have to find a way to replace Williamson's production. Brandon Ingram is expected to step up as the team's leading scorer, while CJ McCollum and Jonas Valanciunas will also need to contribute more.
