New Orleans Pelicans: Gentry says Zion Williamson will play back-to-backs

In a decision that’s certain to benefit both the New Orleans Pelicans and fans around the NBA, there’s going to be a little more action for Zion Williamson than many expected.

Missing the first 44 games of the season after tearing his meniscus in the preseason, Williamson is going to continue to see a healthy dose of action as the Pelicans aim for a playoff run.

Before Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Alvin Gentry told reporters that the star rookie would now be available to play in any back-to-back games for the rest of the season.
