Pelicans Rule Out Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum for Season, Ending Playoff Hopes

Injuries to Williamson and McCollum cap a disappointing 2024-25 campaign for New Orleans, leaving the team near the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum have been officially ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season due to injuries sustained in March.
Williamson suffered a low back bone contusion on March 19, playing only 30 games this season and averaging 24.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
McCollum sustained a right foot bone contusion on March 23, finishing the season with an average of 21.1 points across 56 games.
The Pelicans, currently 14th in the Western Conference, have been eliminated from playoff contention following an injury-plagued season.
This marks another setback for Williamson's injury-riddled career, raising questions about the team's future direction and roster durability.
