Zion Williamson will miss Wednesday night’s game against the LA Clippers in accordance with the league’s health and safety protocols, the New Orleans Pelicans announced Wednesday afternoon.
Pelicans traveled to Los Angeles on Tuesday after starting a seven-game, 13-day trip to Dallas on Monday. However, that game was postponed due to positive cases of COVID-19 and contract tracking with the Mavericks.
It was not clear whether Williamson will lose more than Wednesday night’s game.
New Orleans did not include any other players in its injury report. The Pelicans were already scheduled to run out of Lonzo Ball (bilateral knee tendinopathy), while Eric Bledsoe was listed as questionable (right eye irritation) and JJ Redick as likely (tension in the right hamstring).
Williamson has averaged 21.9 points from 55.7% shooting and 8.1 rebounds in nine games this season. This is the first game he will lose this season.
