Kosport Magazine: Zion Williamson’s Injury Update

The New Orleans Pelicans and their fans​ were holding their breath after star forward Zion Williamson left Wednesday night’s game ⁣against the Orlando Magic with ⁣a finger injury. However, the latest update from coach Willie ‌Green⁢ is a sigh of relief for everyone involved.

According to Green, Williamson is considered day-to-day and X-rays⁣ and scans have come back negative.​ This means that there is no ⁢structural ​damage and the injury ⁤is just causing some ⁤soreness ⁣in his finger.

Williamson initially ⁢left ⁣the game with 7:24 remaining in ⁤the fourth quarter and did not return.​ He later revealed that he ⁣had been hit on the finger ​multiple times throughout the game, but the ⁣initial injury may have occurred in the⁤ second quarter when he hit his ⁣hand on the ​backboard ⁢while blocking Jalen Suggs’ ⁣layup⁢ attempt.

The Pelicans, currently seventh ⁤in the Western Conference, are set to face the San Antonio ⁢Spurs on Friday. Green⁤ has listed Williamson as questionable for the game, but it is unclear if he will be able to ​play.

However, the⁤ Pelicans are also dealing ​with injuries to Brandon Ingram and Jose Alvarado. Ingram has ⁢missed the last⁤ seven games with a left knee bone contusion, while⁣ Alvarado ⁤has been out for four ⁤games with a right ‍oblique strain. Both players are listed as out for Friday’s game.

It’s a tough blow for the Pelicans, who ​are fighting for ‍a playoff spot in the competitive ‍Western Conference.⁣ But with Williamson’s‍ injury not being as serious as initially feared, there is hope⁢ that he will‍ be back‌ on ‍the court soon to help his team in their⁣ push for the postseason.
