Pelicans' Zion Williamson Rested in Pistons Game, Brandon Ingram's Status Questionable Due to Knee Tendinitis

Decision comes after Williamson's strong performance; Ingram missed past two games due to tendinitis.

Zion Williamson, forward for the New Orleans Pelicans, was pulled from the roster for the Thursday night game against the Detroit Pistons for rest.
The decision to rest Williamson followed a solid performance from him, where he scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in the recent 110-106 victory against Oklahoma City.
Brandon Ingram, another key player for the Pelicans, is listed as questionable for the game against the Pistons due to ongoing knee tendinitis, which caused him to miss the last two games.
Despite being rested for this game, Williamson had played in the first four games of the season, managing an average of 21.5 points and helping the Pelicans to a 3-1 season start.
Williamson has struggled with injuries in his first four seasons, playing only 29 games the prior season due to a hamstring injury and missing an entire season because of a foot fracture.
