The Lead
The only team prior to Thursday that Zion Williamson hadn’t played against in his young NBA career was the Orlando Magic. He didn’t play in any of the two meetings between the Pelicans and Magic during his rookie campaign and then was unavailable earlier this year when Orlando was in Louisiana. Nearly two years since New Orleans made him the first overall pick in the draft, the 6-foot-7, 284-pound All-Star can now say he’s played against every opponent, as his 23 points and seven rebounds helped the Pelicans beat the Magic, 135-100, at Amway Center.
