When Zion Williamson‘s debut for the New Orleans Pelicans was cut short by an earthquake, we should have known that this season was going to be rough.
The Pelicans lost their prized rookie in his very first game, as he suffered a knee injury that would keep him out for most of the season.
Couple that with a whole new cast of players, and the New Orleans Pelicans got off to an abysmal 6-22 start and it looked like another lost season, another high lottery pick and back to the drawing board.
