Zion Williamson leaves the game with a right ankle injury in the second quarter as the New Orleans Pelicans defeat the Utah Jazz 115-105. Interim coach James Borrego reports Williamson "tweaked the ankle" but lacks details on the injury's severity. The two-time All-Star’s streak of 35 consecutive games ends after he records four points, two assists, and a rebound in 11 minutes. This injury marks another setback for Williamson, who has already missed 16 games this season due to various issues. The Pelicans drafted Williamson with the No. 1 pick in 2019. He has played only 258 of 543 potential regular-season games and never more than 25 in a row until now. The Pelicans also play without small forward Trey Murphy, center Yves Missi, and guard Dejounte Murray.
