The New Orleans Pelicans will likely have a chance to play the spoiler role in their Sunday season finale, but while doing so, they won’t be anywhere close to full strength.
On Saturday afternoon’s injury update, four New Orleans starters and a key reserve were listed as out for Sunday's 8 p.m. game in the Smoothie King Center, with that group including Steven Adams (right first MTP sprain), Lonzo Ball (right thumb sprain), Josh Hart (right thumb surgery), Brandon Ingram (left ankle sprain) and Zion Williamson (left hand fracture).
Wes Iwundu (left shoulder sprain) and James Johnson (left knee contusion) are listed as questionable.
