I don’t know about y’all, but I saw Zion celebrating and smiling on the bench tonight when Trey had that series of offensive boards plus the and one
I like that – 10:30 PM

Greetings from Smoothie King Center. Nets-Pelicans tip in less than 10. Pels are 1-11 and have no Zion or Brandon Ingram tonight. The Nets don’t have the same problem. I don’t expect this to be close. Updates to follow. – 7:56 PM

Alvin Gentry is legitimately the most universally well-liked person I’ve ever been around in sports — besides Pat Summitt.
To know how toxic his relationship is with David Griffin is speaks volumes about how bad things got during Zion’s rookie season. – 11:31 PM

Pels might have had the best jump start on a rebuild ever after the Anthony Davis trade and they just lost to the Thunder. Yes, no Zion or BI, but OKC tried to lose this game. – 11:03 PM

Pels have already lost 8 in a row. They may not be favored again until December.
They lost a franchise-record 13 in a row a few years ago while Zion was hurt. Feels like they may be challenging that number again this year. pic.twitter.com/3HO1YEepjS – 10:40 PM

FINAL: Thunder 108, Pelicans 100.
New Orleans falls to 1-11, losers of eight straight and 0-5 at home.
Pelicans own the worst record in the NBA.
OKC led by as much as 21. This team is just bad without Ingram and Zion. There are no other answers. – 10:36 PM

Imagine how much damage this team could do if they had Zion and BI – 9:53 PM

No Ingram, Zion or Naji to start. Daulton Hommes was already injured. Jose Alvarado and Didi Louzada are in Birmingham.
With Hart’s ejection, Pelicans are down to 10 players – the 9 players other than Hart who saw action in 1H and Willy Hernangomez. – 9:25 PM

🏀 Should the Pelicans be this bad?
🏀 No Zion or Brandon Ingram means this team will struggle
🏀 But should the Pels be further ahead in year 3 of a rebuild?

More on this storyline
When asked about whether this decision was from Zion’s camp or the Pelicans, Charania clarified that it was a mutual decision between both parties. He also had some worrying details about Zion’s shape and injury. “It’s both doctors… on Zion Williamson’s side, on the Pelicans side. Because I’m told not only the bone isn’t fully healing yet, listen. He needs to be in game shape as well… he’s just not there yet.” -via Clutch Points / November 13, 2021
Andrew Lopez: Willie Green says doctors are encouraged by Zion’s latest scans. Zion up to 5-on-0 work. Can cut, can do explosive work. Will be another set of scans in 2-3 weeks. Those will determine next step in his return to play. -via Twitter @_Andrew_Lopez / November 1, 2021
Christian Clark: Jonas Valanciunas on Zion’s absence: “We need him. We are waiting every day for him to come back. It’s going to be a different look with our team. But he’s a huge piece for us. We need him back. Then we’re going to see what everything looks like.” -via Twitter @cclark_13 / November 1, 2021
