The New Orleans Pelicans held an impromptu press conference today and David Griffin, the vice president of basketball operations, announced to media via a Zoom call that the seasons of Zion Williamson (fractured left ring finger) and Brandon Ingram (left ankle inversion sprain) are in jeopardy.
The tone of Griffin’s message, though, was one unmistakably seated in deep frustration with NBA referees. He believes Zion would have had a much higher chance of finishing this campaign had he simply been officiated more correctly to this point in time.
“I’m really frustrated because this was avoidable,” Griffin said.
