Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Trail Blazers as New Orleans looks to give its star forward additional rest as he continues to work his way back from a left hamstring strain.

After making his return from a hamstring injury Tuesday against Minnesota and scoring 22 points in just 28 minutes, Zion Williamson is listed as out for Wednesday’s second game of a back-to-back

The Pelicans (7-30) were hoping Williamson’s return could keep the momentum going from the past four days when the team won back-to-back games for just the second time this season.
