LAS VEGAS – New Orleans began summer league featuring a handful of players who are relatively familiar to the average hoops fan, but by the second night of game competition, the Pelicans were essentially down to one. With No. 1 pick Zion Williamson sidelined due to a Friday knee-to-knee injury – and Frank Jackson, Kenrich Williams and Christian Wood joining him as DNPs – Trevon Bluiett was required to somewhat carry the offense Saturday. Bluiett, who spent 2018-19 season on a two-way contract but has not yet appeared in an official NBA game, responded with 23 points vs. Washington, highlighted by six three-pointers.
