Williamson, Ingram Injured In Pelicans First Loss!
In the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s 122-121 overtime victory by the Jazz, Williamson crashed to the floor on a transition dunk attempt that Utah’s Jordan Clarkson blocked from behind. Williamson was later diagnosed with a posterior hip contusion.
Williamson did not leave the bench area when he checked out to need emergency medical attention for his damaged hip. Also, Williamson stayed with his squad until the final whistle, but according to coach Willie Green, there was no talk of bringing him back into the game.
Political Thoughts:
“Oh, man, this isn’t good,” thought CJ McCollum, a player with the Pelicans, who described seeing Williamson fall to the ground on his back. Accidental play. Hopefully, he returns as soon as possible, said McCollum.
Before being injured in a collision with teammate Naji Marshall in the first home game for New Orleans, Ingram scored 10 points in 11 minutes. Williamson scored 25 points before taking a severe fall, at which point he abruptly stopped participating in the game.
Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram availability for Tuesday night’s home game against Dallas for the Pelicans is currently unknown. Williamson, a Duke player who was selected first overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, missed the whole 2018–19 campaign while nursing a broken foot.

Every time Zion Williamson received the ball on offense, there was excitement in the sold-out crowd. His first-half alley-oop dunk on a lob from McCollum was one of his highlights. He also made the majority of his baskets close to the basket.
Moreover, he started the season off with a victory at Brooklyn, scoring 25 points, and then added 16 points in a victory at Charlotte. Williamson appeared to be about to slam down a crowd-pleasing one-handed jam as he leaped toward the basket in front of a fast break when Clarkson.
Pursuing from behind, got his hands on the ball and appeared to knock Williamson off balance. On video replays, the block seemed clean, and no foul was signaled. Lauri Markkanen of the Jazz said of Clarkson’s block,
“I saw the film and it was all ball, so a really fantastic play by J.C.” He added that it appeared that Williamson “had a wide-open slam.”
