NEW ORLEANS — Zion Williamson was finally healthy for a New Orleans Pelicans postseason game, but he unfortunately was injured before the game ended.
NBA Insider Shams Charania says the injury is believed to be to his left hamstring.
The Pelicans star hobbled off after scoring his 40th point over LeBron James with about 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter. He did not return.
Willie Green said that Zion Williamson left the game with left leg soreness. He will have imaging done on Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Lakers secured a playoff berth with a 110-106 victory over New Orleans. The Pelicans will be back on the court Friday for the do-or-die Western Conference play-in finale against Sacramento. And they could be without Williamson.
WWL Louisiana Reporter Ricardo LeCompte saw Williamson walking out of the locker room.
LeCompte said he didn’t see a limp or wrap on Williamson's leg, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
