New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson was forced to sit out the final minutes of Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic due to a finger injury on his left hand. Williamson, who had his middle finger taped up, indicated that he had tweaked his hand but refrained from speculating on the severity of the injury.
The injury occurred during the second quarter when Williamson hit his hand on the backboard while attempting a block. Despite playing through the discomfort, Williamson eventually had to leave the game in the third quarter after picking up his fourth foul.
