NBA Preview: Pelicans need to make amends for record-setting loss to Mavericks

Was soreness in Zion Williamson’s surgically repaired right foot partially to blame for the lackluster performance by the New Orleans Pelicans against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday?

In case you missed the breaking news, Williamson didn’t partake in yesterday’s practice because of a mild setback.

Williamson was supposed to participate in his first full practice on Thursday but was held out because of the soreness he had been experiencing in the past few days. While not a sharp pain, the soreness has persisted. The team does not believe it will be a major issue moving forward, but they are proceeding with caution.
