New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson will sit out Sunday afternoon's game against the host Detroit Pistons due to a low back contusion.
Williamson also sat out Friday against the Timberwolves in Minneapolis, two days after he scored 29 points on 12-for-16 shooting in the Pelicans' 119-115 win, also at Minnesota.
Also on Sunday, the Pelicans (19-52) ruled out rookie center Yves Missi due to right hip soreness. Guard Jose Alvarado (illness) is available to play versus the Pistons, however.
A two-time All-Star, Williamson has played in just 30 games (all starts) this season for the Pelicans (19-52), averaging 24.
