CJ McCollum's 38 Points Propel Short-Handed Pelicans to Victory Over 76ers

Playing without Zion Williamson and other key players, the Pelicans secured a 123-115 win against a 76ers team missing Joel Embiid.

CJ McCollum led the New Orleans Pelicans with 38 points, including six three-pointers, to secure a road victory against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Pelicans were without Zion Williamson, who was suspended for one game due to repeated lateness to practices and flights, as well as several injured players, including Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones.
New Orleans' bench made a significant impact, with players like Jordan Hawkins (21 points), Jose Alvarado (13 points), and Daniel Theis (12 points) contributing to the win.
The 76ers played without Joel Embiid, who missed his third straight game due to a foot injury, and fell to 8-15 this season when he is unavailable.
Despite strong performances from Tyrese Maxey (30 points, 12 assists) and Paul George (25 points, 11 rebounds), the 76ers were unable to overcome the Pelicans' balanced scoring and timely shooting.
