Zion Williamson is listed as out as per the latest injury report. The hamstring issue has taken up quite a lot of precious time for the 2x all-star.

He had just recovered from being out for the whole year and came back with a menacing force. However, things are not that bleak for NOLA, just yet.

As per the latest, Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas have been upgraded to probable. It will be a welcome sight for NOLA as they have a 2-game winning streak. The timeline of Zion’s return is still unclear.
