Zion Williamson's Injury Status For Game 4
The New Orleans Pelicans are hosting the Phoenix Suns on Sunday evening for Game 4 of their first-round playoff series.
For the game, the Pelicans will remain without their best player All-Star Zion Williamson.
NBA's official injury report
The former first overall pick has yet to play in a game so far this season, but the Pelicans have been a pleasant surprise in his absence from the team.
They found a way to make the NBA Playoffs as the ninth seed in the Western Conference by beating the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers in consecutive games to win their way through the play-in tournament and secure the eighth and final seed.
They had started the season an abysmal 1-12, so their turnaround has been quite remarkable.
As for the Suns, they made the NBA Finals last season, but lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games.
However, they picked up right where they left off, and finished the year as the best team in the NBA and top seed in the Western Conference.
The Suns have a 2-1 series lead, so the Pelicans will try to tie up the series before heading back to Arizona for Game 5.
