INDIANAPOLIS – The future appears to be exceptionally bright for New Orleans’ combination of starting forwards, with 22-year-old Brandon Ingram having earned his first All-Star appearance and 19-year-old Zion Williamson off to a smashing start to his NBA career. Unfortunately for the Pelicans, it’s possible they will be without both rising talents Saturday, when New Orleans (21-31) visits the Indiana Pacers (31-21) at 6:30 p.m. Central.
Ingram is doubtful to play due to the right ankle sprain he sustained during Thursday’s win at Chicago. Williamson is questionable against the Pacers with a left ankle sprain.
