The Pelicans looked to be back in with a slight chance at making the play-in tournament after a win against the Golden State Warriors, but those hopes were dashed after the terrible news that broke before the game on Friday: Zion Williamson will be out for the foreseeable future with a fractured left ring finger.
To make things worse, Brandon Ingram is also out of action indefinitely after sustaining a left ankle sprain in that win against the Warriors.
