It’s difficult to imagine a tougher start to a season as important as this one for the New Orleans Pelicans and there’s no relief on the horizon. The schedule is about to turn more difficult and the injury list is quickly becoming public enemy No. 1.
Zion Williamson is going to miss at least the next 2-3 weeks as his rehabilitation carries on from offseason right foot surgery. While progress is being made per Willie Green — “He’s cutting. He’s doing explosive work. He’s running. He’s getting closer and closer.” — Zion remains unable to help steer the Pelicans out of their tailspin.
