New Orleans Pelicans star forward Zion Williamson left Tuesday night’s play-in game against the Los Angeles Lakers early due to what the team initially described as “left leg soreness.” After the game, it was revealed that Williamson was dealing with a hamstring injury and would undergo further tests. Now, on facing elimination in the 8-seed play-in game against the Sacramento Kings, Zion will be unavailable due to this injury, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

In their 110-106 loss to the Lakers in the 7-seed play-in game, Williamson recorded a season-high 40 points on 17-of-27 shooting. He also finished the game with 11 rebounds and five assists.
With Brandon Ingram working his way back from a knee injury that sidelined him for over three weeks, Williamson has been the catalyst for the Pelicans’ offense. His absence will severely limit the Pelicans, who initially entered the Western Conference play-in tournament as the 7-seed.
More details are to come shortly.
