Pelicans' Zion Williamson to Miss Play-In Game with Hamstring Injury
New Orleans Faces Sacramento Friday Night
Los Angeles Lakers Defeat Pelicans 110-106
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is out of Friday's NBA play-in game against the Sacramento Kings due to a hamstring injury. With the team's season on the line, his absence is a significant blow to their playoff aspirations.
The Pelicans stumbled to a 110-106 loss against the Los Angeles Lakers in their final regular season game. Despite 36 points from Brandon Ingram, the team's defense faltered in the second half.
New Orleans' injury report lists four key players as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets, their final regular season matchup. Brandon Ingram (toe), CJ McCollum (ankle), Herbert Jones (illness), and Willy Hernangomez (knee) are all being evaluated by the team's medical staff.
The Pelicans will need to overcome adversity if they want to secure a playoff berth. With Williamson sidelined and other players potentially limited, they will rely heavily on Ingram and McCollum to step up.
