Zion Williamson Likely Out Versus Suns
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hip, back) isn't expected to play against the Suns, the first of the team's three-game road trip. The 22-year-old took a hard fall late in Sunday's matchup against the Jazz, resulting in an injury to his right hip and lower back. Fortunately, there's a good chance he'll return on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. With Brandon Ingram (head) ruled out, and Jose Alvarado (back), Herbert Jones (knee), and CJ McCollum (finger) questionable, Trey Murphy III, who scored 22 points against the Mavericks, could be in store for another big night. Naji Marshall, Jonas Valanciunas, and Larry Nance Jr. may also be more involved on Friday.
