The New Orleans Pelicans won't have star forward Zion Williamson for their play-in tournament elimination game against the Sacramento Kings on Friday, according to a report from ESPN on Wednesday. Williamson injured his left hamstring against Los Angeles Lakers in the Pelicans' play-in opener on Tuesday, according to a report from The Athletic on Tuesday.
Williamson, who missed most of his first four seasons because of a series of injuries to his knee, hand, foot and hamstring, finally got through a regular season relatively good health in his fifth year as a pro. He played in 70 games, leading the 49-win Pelicans in scoring at 22.9 points. And for about 45 minutes on the game clock on Tuesday night, Williamson's maiden postseason performance did not disappoint.
