Williamson Questionable for Lakers Game; Addresses Criticism on Care for Game

Zion Williamson is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain, potentially missing his second consecutive matchup after tweaking his ankle Saturday. The Pelicans star recently pushed back on criticism regarding his commitment, stating he cares deeply and that missing extensive time due to injuries (including a torn meniscus and a full season) was mentally taxing. Williamson, who is averaging 24.1 points and 6.5 rebounds this season, is on track to surpass 50 games for only the third time in his career.
