Jan. 22 vs. Spurs targeted for Zion Williamson to make NBA debut

Whether it’s been speculation about the possible return date of the NBA’s No. 1 overall draft pick, or uncertainty surrounding the recent availability of Zion Williamson’s teammates, there have been a great deal of question marks surrounding the New Orleans Pelicans lately. Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations addressed those queries and several more during his Wednesday post-practice media availability, headlined by the news that Williamson’s target to make his regular season debut is Jan. 22 vs. San Antonio. Griffin half-jokingly noted that at least that determination should lessen how much time Williamson has to spend answering a question he seems to get every waking moment of his day.
