BREAKING: Zion Williamson, Victor Wembanyama, Brandon ingram Injury Status For Spurs-Pelicans Game, 4/5

Will the New Orleans Pelicans dress Zion to face Wemby for a final time this season?

UPDATE: ZION WILLIAMSON IS OUT OF TONIGHT'S GAME

Will the San Antonio Spurs (18-58, 15th in the Western Conference) be able to disrupt the plans of the New Orleans Pelicans (45-31, 7th in the Western Conference) as they visit the Big Easy for a final time this season? The Pelicans honestly hope not.  

New Orleans could be without their leading scorers in the lineup. The Spurs have lost their frontcourt players, and the reserves are taking them down the stretch. Still, the probable NBA Rookie of the Year will be ready to take on the Pelicans.

Zion Williamson's status is questionable as a "gametime decision" after sustaining a finger injury versus Orlando. Without Zion's 22.8 points per game and Bradon Ingram's 20.0 points per contest, the Pelicans will be vulnerable to Victor Wembanyana's size and length. Williamson will probably wear his uniform tonight to help the Pelicans with six games remaining.

The projected starters for New Orleans are:

• CJ McCollum, Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III, and Jonas Valanciunas

The Spurs projected starters are: 

• Victor Wembanyama, Tre Jones, Malaki Branham, Julian Champagnie, and Sandro Mamukelashvili
