Game Preview

The New Orleans Pelicans displayed last season that they don’t need oft-injured Zion Williamson to make a charge in the postseason.

That’s a good thing, as it appears the Pelicans won’t be seeing Williamson on the floor this time around either, beginning with Wednesday’s play-in contest against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder.

Williamson injured his right hamstring on Jan. 2 with the recovery period now exceeding more than three months. The No. 1 overall selection in 2019 played just 29 games in the regular season, marking the third time in four NBA seasons that he has played in fewer than 30 games.
