    Zion Williamson’s injury status for the Cavs-Pelicans game

    Online Niel Posted on

    UPDATE: Zion Williamson was at the shootaround (h/t NOLA.com’s Christian Clark).

    On Wednesday night, the New Orleans Pelicans will host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

    For the game, they could be without their best player as Zion Williamson is on the injury report.

    Williamson missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out of the lineup (if he doesn’t play).

    Via Underdog NBA: “Zion Williamson (thigh) questionable for Wednesday.”

    Williamson is averaging 21.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest while shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range in five games.

    The Pelicans are 3-5 through their first eight games of the new season.

    They are in the midst of a two game losing streak and most recently lost to the Portland Trail Blazers by a score of 118-100.

    After the Cavs, the Pelicans will play their next game on Friday night when they visit the Orlando Magic in Florida.

    As for the Cavs, they enter the night as the best team in the NBA with a perfect 8-0 record.

    Most recently they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 116-114.

    2022 NBA All-Star Darius Garland led the way with 39 points, two rebounds and eight assists while shooting 15-of-22 from the field and 7-of-11 from three-point range in 35 minutes of action.

    After New Orleans, the Cavs will play their next game on Friday when they host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
