Zion Williamson could miss a game in this final stretch of the season due to pain in a finger on his left hand. Although X-ray tests ruled out serious problems, the player feels discomfort and will have to be evaluated day by day to determine his condition before each game, including of course the one the Pelicans will play tonight against San Antonio.
However, the franchise breathes a sigh of relief, since a major illness at this point could have been really dangerous for the team’s chances: “Structurally, everything is fine. “It’s just some pain,” confirmed Willie Green.
However, in such a compressed West and in the middle of the fight to avoid the play-in, any night without the power forward could be a problem for those from Louisiana, who already have the loss of Brandon Ingram. Without its two leading scorers, New Orleans may encounter offensive difficulties that complicate this decisive stretch, although the truth is that men like CJ McCollum and Trey Murphy have responded when necessary. And maybe they’ll have to do it again.

The game to watch closely is this Sunday, in which the Pelicans will visit the Suns in a direct clash for sixth position in the West. On the one hand, it is to be expected that Zion wants to be present in this face-to-face, but on the other it would be too daring to risk with the postseason so close, so everything will depend on how he feels these days.
