It is no secret that the New Orleans Pelicans have not had the season they were expecting. The franchise knows this and that is a major reason why they have ruled Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum out for the remainder of the season. New Orleans has a 21-54 record as of March 31st, 2025. After a fall on March 19th in a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Williamson was diagnosed with a low back bone contusion. As for McCollum, he suffered a right foot bone contusion in the game against the Detroit Pistons. With only a few games left in the regular season, it is not too surprising that the Pelicans are taking a cautious approach and keeping their star duo sidelined for the remainder of the year.
