US Edition'I'm pretty sure everybody is getting tired of the what if ,' Pels, Jose Alvarado ready to move past injuries
- The New Orleans Pelicans announced on Monday, March 31, 2025, that Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum would be shut down for the remainder of the season due to injuries.
- The Pelicans' season has been marked by a rash of injuries, contributing to their current 21-54 record and placing them among lottery-bound teams.
- Williamson suffered a lower backbone contusion during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 19, while McCollum sustained a right foot bone contusion against the Detroit Pistons on March 23, and neither has played since.

- With seven games remaining and both Williamson and McCollum sidelined, the Pelicans, who have used 42 different starting lineups this season, must now focus on the recoveries of injured players like Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy, and Herb Jones, and consider their long-term strategy, including whether to continue building around Williamson amidst concerns about his durability and potential trade interest from other teams.
