Pelicans Announce Unexpected Zion Williamson Injury
The Pelicans announced an unexpected Zion Williamson injury update this week.
New Orleans selected Williamson with the first overall selection in the 2019 NBA Draft.
After a dominant preseason, he got hurt and was forced to sit out until late January.
Williamson finally made his return a month ago and has played really well, with his team ultimately winning three out of their last five outings.
Unfortunately, it appears that Williamson is hurt again.
