Is Zion Williamson playing tonight against Boston Celtics? Latest on 2x NBA All-Star’s availability (March 30)
Despite suffering a season-ending hamstring injury last year, Zion Williamson has returned to the New Orleans Pelicans and is currently experiencing his healthiest season with the team. This has been a crucial factor in the Pelicans’ success in the NBA Western Conference.
The upcoming game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Boston Celtics will take place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on March 30. This will mark the second time the two teams have faced each other this season. In their previous five meetings, the Boston Celtics have emerged victorious over the New Orleans Pelicans. However, according to the latest injury report from the Pelicans, the former Duke Blue Devil has been given the green light to play against the Celtics.
At the moment, the Pelicans hold the sixth spot in the NBA Western Conference standings, with the LA Clippers only one game ahead. However, they also face competition from the Dallas Mavericks, who are currently one game behind. Each game leading up to the NBA playoffs is crucial in determining their ultimate ranking.
Despite Williamson’s 20th consecutive game without injury, the Pelicans will be missing starting forwards Brandon Ingram and Jose Alvarado. The team doctors will evaluate Dyson Daniels before the game, leaving his availability uncertain.
