Willie Green says he’s optimistic Zion Williamson and Herb Jones may be able to come back for the opcoming west coast road trip.

Willie Green says he’s optimistic Zion Williamson and Herb Jones will be able to go for Phoenix on Friday but he can’t say anything for sure. – 5:50 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
Zion Williamson (hip contusion), Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Hetb Jones (hyperextended knee) will not play for the Pelicans when they host the @Dallas Mavericks tonight at 6:30. Big chance for the #Mavs to stretch their record to 2-1. – 4:35 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Seems like forever since the Mavericks have seen Zion Williamson. He’ll be out again tonight with a hip problem. Pels also without Ingram. Nothing is easy in this league, but this is a golden opportunity for Mavericks to pick up first road win. – 2:19 PM

More on this storyline

Christian Clark: Official injury report ahead of Dallas game: Brandon Ingram out (concussion) Herb Jones questionable (right knee hyperextension) Zion Williamson questionable (hip/lower back contusion) -via Twitter @cclark_13 / October 24, 2022
Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a posterior hip contusion (bruised hip), forcing him to miss the finish of Sunday’s Pelicans game against the Utah Jazz, the team announced. Williamson took a hard fall in the second half after Jordan Clarkson blocked his dunk attempt in transition. Herb Jones eventually subbed in for Williamson. -via The Athletic / October 24, 2022
Matt Williams: Zion Williamson has averaged exactly 20.0 paint points over his last 66 games, dating back to the Orlando Bubble. The only player to average 20 paint points over a longer span in the last 25 years? Shaquille O’Neal -via Twitter @StatsWilliams / October 20, 2022
