The Ringer @ringernba
This has been an absurdly chaotic season for the Pelicans, especially with Zion not playing at all. Have they been the most surprising team in the playoffs?

I don’t wanna get ahead of myself, but a Big 3 of Zion, Ingram, and CJ could be the real deal next year.

You could make two playoff teams with the current injuries.
First team:
— Luka Doncic
— Devin Booker
— Scottie Barnes
— Zion Williamson
— Rob Williams
Second team:
— Jamal Murray
— Lonzo Ball
— Michael Porter Jr
— Ben Simmons
— Clint Capela
Hoping we see these guys soon. pic.twitter.com/JteouEWgNA – 2:31 PM

the pelicans reinventing themselves after a 3-16 start to end up in the playoffs, going punch-for-punch with the 64-win suns through two games, all without zion, is cool as hell. – 12:36 AM
Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
It’s disrespectful to the Suns to play “what if” with Zion.
But this series so much more fun with Zion out there causing absolute mayhem. – 10:17 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
605 players appeared in an NBA game this past regular season.
They did NOT include:

– John Wall
– Zion Williamson – 6:37 PM

More on this storyline

Bleacher Report: Pelicans and Zion have a “difference of opinion” on if he’s healthy enough to play following his foot injury, per @_Andrew_Lopez -via Twitter / April 16, 2022
Zion Williamson has not been ruled out for the entire season, but the New Orleans Pelicans have revealed to Cassidy Hubbarth that “a return to play is not imminent.” There is “no chance” Williamson would not play in a possible play-in against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, or even in a first round series against the Phoenix Suns. -via RealGM / April 14, 2022
Cassidy Hubbarth: Zion with the 360 dunk during his pregame workout. 👀 He is still out indefinitely but is progressing well and is continuing controlled 5 on 5 work. -via Twitter / April 14, 2022
