Who is missing and who is embarrassed? After Zion's injury layoff, the Pelicans won back-to-back games.
6686 Sports News on November 6 As we all know, Zion Williamson is the star of the Pelicans. He averaged 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2 interceptions per game this season. The above four statistics are the highest in the team.
However, after the start of the regular season, the Pelicans lost the first six games. Zion played 5 times during this period and was unable to help the team win any game. A few days ago, the Pelicans officially announced that Zion suffered a first-degree strain of his left leg tendon and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.
What is embarrassing for Zion is that the team started winning just as he announced his absence due to injury. On November 5, the Pelicans defeated the Hornets 116-112 and won their first win of the season. Eight players on the team scored in double figures, including Murphy III, who scored a team-high 21 points. Today, the Pelicans faced off against the Mavericks in back-to-back games.
In this matchup, 6 Pelicans scored in double figures, of which Bay scored a team-high 22 points. In the end, they narrowly defeated the Mavericks 101-99 and won their second consecutive victory in one fell swoop.
