Pelicans deprive Zion Williamson of his first game against the Warriors in 2026-27

Les New Orleans Pelicans n'auront pas leur pivot Zion Williamson à l'occasion de leur premier match de la saison 2026-27, programmé ce lundi soir face aux Golden State Warriors.

L'attaquant vedette est listé sur la feuille de match pour repos, ont indiqué les organisateurs.

The Pelicans face the second straight game Friday night, following a 139-123 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers last Sunday.

C'est dans ce contexte que le club a décidé de confier à Williamson une journée de repos pour éviter tout risque de blessure.

A choice which comes after a very trying summer for the star of the game at position 5, who notably suffered a knee injury last June.

Note that Trey Murphy (knees) also unavailable this evening could join the rotation behind Derik Queen, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones.

« C'est une décision sage pour protéger sa santé, » a déclaré un membre du staff technique.

L'absence de Williamson prive le cinq aligné initial d'un impacteur majeur. Les encadrants devraient composer avec un effectif amputé de son cœur offensif.

According to BasketNews, the player should return to the field next Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.
