We miss you Zion
Zion Williamson had given his best game in a long time by scoring 40 points in the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, a major injury to the hamstring in his left leg will leave him out of tonight's game.
A loss that the Pelicans and the basketball fan in general regret, a great injured player.
