Will Zion Williamson play tonight vs the Memphis Grizzlies?
If both the faces of the respective franchises do take the court tonight, it would be the first time the South Carolina duo will go against each other since February 2021.
But what has kept them from giving the NBA fans some high-flying Zion-Ja action might again spoil the party. As Williamson is a ‘Game Time Decision’ on the Pelicans’ list of injuries while Morant who has missed his team’s last outing against the Wizards is ‘probable’ in his team’s update.
Injuries have taken a toll on the 2021 All-Star since his debut in 2019. The man is also always under scrutiny for his weight, which has been a major factor playing a role in all his foot-related injuries.
