Zion Williamson will miss Wednesday night’s game against the LA Clippers according to league safety and health protocols, the New Orleans Pelicans announced Wednesday afternoon.
The Pelicans traveled to Los Angeles on Tuesday after they were due to begin a seven-day, 13-day road trip to Dallas on Monday. However, this game was postponed due to positive COVID-19 cases and contract tracking with the Mavericks.
It was unclear if Williamson would miss more of Wednesday night’s game.
New Orleans did not add any other players to its injury report. Pelicans were already predicted without Lonzo Ball (bilateral knee tendinopathy), while Eric Bledsoe was found to be questionable (right eye irritation) and JJ Redick as probable (right neck oppression).
This season, Williamson has 21.9 points on 55.7% shooting and 8.1 rebounds in nine games. This is the first game he will miss this season.
