Pelicans to play-in without Zion Williamson.

New Orleans Pelicans' Zion Williamson will not play in any play-in tournament games next week if the Pelicans are still in the play-in due to a hamstring injury he suffered on January 2. The team would like for Williamson to go through some practices before returning. The Pelicans have guaranteed themselves at least the No. 9 seed in the West play-in tournament but could climb out of the tournament altogether depending on the results of this weekend's games. Williamson has played in only 29 games this season.
