But as soon as he came down, Williamson knew something was wrong. He almost immediately motioned to the bench so he could come out. After a quick conversation with a Pelicans staffer, he threw a towel to the floor in frustration and stormed off to the locker room. The mood in the arena went from defiance to despair. From glee to gloom. If Williamson could’ve carried his team to a comeback victory on this night, with these stakes, it would’ve been his most epic performance as a pro. Based on how he was playing, it could’ve gone down as one of the most memorable nights in franchise history. Instead, the night ended with another gut-wrenching loss at home and another mysterious injury for a player who’s grown all too familiar with both. “It was tough to see him go down. We’re all praying and hoping he’s OK,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said. “He was battling. … The team was right there with him. It’s tough. We’ll see what happens and go from there.”
