Pelican fans were treated to back-to-back appearances on ESPN (called by Doris Burke!) this weekend and yet Saturday night carried far less shine than its predecessor.
Friday night was loaded with all the pomp and circumstance of a summer league rock concert, with celebrities and A-List athletes sitting courtside to catch a glimpse of former Blue Devil and the NBA’s number one overall pick, Zion Williamson.
Zion finally emerged into the spotlight, but a knee collision and Ridgecrest Quake put a stop to his action, finishing his night with 11 points and three rebounds in nine minutes.
