Zion Williamson's Injury Status For Grizzlies-Pelicans Game

Zion Williamson is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game between the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans.

On Tuesday evening, the New Orleans Pelicans are hosting Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies in Louisiana.

However, they could be without one of their best players for the game, as Zion Williamson has been listed as questionable. 

The former Duke star is coming off 26 points, four rebounds and six assists (on 89% shooting from the field) in a win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night.

Pelicans: "New Orleans’ planned starting lineup for 2022-23 has been intact for each of the past six games, but that streak is in jeopardy, because the Pelicans listed Zion Williamson (right ankle/foot sprain) as questionable for Tuesday’s home game vs. Memphis (6:30 p.m., TNT, WRNO 99.5 FM)."
