The Pelicans are in a tight spot with Williamson because he is so great when he plays, and yet his trade value is likely not what a player of his caliber should be given his inabi

Zion had missed the last five Pelicans games and McCollum the last three, this announcment just makes the expected official.

This is not what anybody expected going into the season, but injuries have held them back significantly. Star forward Zion Williamson has only played 30 games for the Pelicans this season, and that is where his 2024-25 campaign will end.
