Zion Williamson will miss Wednesday night’s game against the LA Clippers under the league’s health and safety protocols, the New Orleans Pelicans announced Wednesday afternoon.
The Pelicans traveled to Los Angeles on Tuesday after starting a seven-game, 13-day road trip in Dallas on Monday. However, that game was postponed due to positive COVID-19 cases and contract tracking with the Mavericks.
It was unclear whether Williamson will miss more than Wednesday night’s game.
New Orleans has not added any other players to the injury report. The Pelicans were already set to be without Lonzo Ball (bilateral knee tendinopathy), while Eric Bledsoe was listed as questionable (right eye irritation) and JJ Redick as likely (right hamstring tightness).
Williamson averaged 21.9 points on 55.7% shooting and 8.1 rebounds in nine games this season. This is the first game he will miss this season.
