PHILADELPHIA - New Orleans star Zion Williamson is sidelined indefinitely with a fractured left finger, a major blow to the Pelicans’ run at a Western Conference play-in spot. The Pelicans made the announcement Friday before they played the Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia 76ers. Pelicans vice-president of basketball David Griffin ripped the NBA and its officiating for not doing more to protect their franchise player. Quite frankly, he’s injured now because of the open season that there’s been on Zion Williamson in the paint. He doesn’t do any of that.”___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsLoading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
