The Zion Williamson Show is taking a summer hiatus

The Pelicans’ No. 1-overall pick in this year’s NBA draft will sit out the rest of NBA Summer League after bruising his left knee on Friday against the Knicks.

“Zion will move forward from this incident without issue,” Pelicans Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin said in a statement. “However, in an abundance of caution, we have made the determination that he will not appear in game action for the remainder of NBA Summer League. He will continue to take part in training and conditioning with our performance team.”

Williamson had 11 points and three rebounds in nine minutes of action against the Knicks. He exited before the second half, and the game was halted because of an earthquake.
