New Orleans Pelicans rookie forward Zion Williamson will not play Friday night against the Washington Wizards, according to the team.
The team listed Williamson as out (rest) on its injury report Friday afternoon.
Williamson played just under 22 minutes in the Pelicans' 140-125 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, when Williamson had 24 points on 10-of-12 shooting.
His minutes have been a hot topic of discussion since the seeding games started. Williamson left the NBA bubble for a family emergency July 16 and returned July 24, quarantining until July 28.
