Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Records season-hgh 31 points
Zion Williamson logged 31 points (12-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 loss to the Warriors.Williamson enjoyed his best performance of the season in the loss. Aside from Brandon Ingram, Williamson was the only player to log double-digit points for the New Orleans Pelicans. That's not a good recipe for success, as the duo will need better evenings from CJ McCollum and Herbert Jones (shoulder) to ensure success. Trey Murphy's (hamstring) eventual return will help matters, but Williamson is expected to carry a heavy load in the meantime.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Teases triple-double Friday
Zion Williamson amassed 16 points (4-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-14 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 105-103 win over the Trail Blazers.The 24-year-old big was on a slight minutes restriction after missing the New Orleans Pelicans' opener due to an illness, but Williamson still made a big impact. He played a career-high 70 games in 2023-24, and staying healthy remains his top priority, but Williamson could blow past the career-high 7.2 boards he recorded in 2020-21 given the heavy usage at center he's likely to see this season.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Under minutes restriction
Head coach Willie Green said before Friday's game against Portland that Zion Williamson (illness) will play "a little under" his normal minutes, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.Williamson missed the regular-season opener due to illness, and while he's been cleared to play Friday, he'll be limited. The 24-year-old averaged 31.5 minutes per game in the regular season during the 2023-24 campaign, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Williamson log 25-to-29 minutes Friday based on Green's pre-game statement. Despite the restrictions, Williamson is part of the starting lineup.
