CJ McCollum Shut Down For The Rest Of The Season

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (foot) will be shut down for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The Pelicans have already been eliminated from Postseason contention, so the move was made to keep him off the floor. The 33-year-old averaged 21.1 points this season, his most since 2021-22. However, he logged only 56 games after logging 66 in 2023-24. New Orleans also announced Zion Williamson (back) also won't be back on the floor this season, so guys like Kelly Olynyk, Jordan Hawkins (back), Bruce Brown, and Jose Alvarado should be busy moving ahead.

Zion Williamson Won't Play Again This Season

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (back) will be shut down for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. The 24-year-old averaged 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 steals this season. However, after appearing in a career-high 70 games in 2023-24, he logged only 30 games this season. It's unknown what the future holds for the former Duke Blue Devil as it relates to his time in New Orleans. But even if he ends up elsewhere next season, he'll need to prove he can stay healthy before earning the trust of fantasy managers. Until then, Williamson's presence on any fantasy roster is a risk. CJ McCollum (foot), Trey Murphy III (shoulder), and Dejounte Murray (Achilles) have already been sidelined, so Jose Alvarado, Kelly Olynyk, Bruce Brown, and Jordan Hawkins (back) should be in charge of most of the scoring duties the rest of the way.

Bruce Brown Won't Play Monday Versus Philadelphia

New Orleans Pelicans forwardBruce Brown(rest) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown will be sidelined for the second half of back-to-back games to rest after posting 12 points, two assists and one rebound across 35 minutes on Sunday against the Pistons. With Brown out, Jordan Hawkins and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely have plenty of minutes and scoring opportunities, especially with seven Pelicans players unavailable this evening.

Zion Williamson Ruled Out Again On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forwardZion Williamson(back) won't play on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Williamson will be out of action for the third consecutive contest due to a back contusion. The 24-year-old is one of seven Pelicans listed as unavailable for tonight's contest. Yves Missi (hip) could also be sidelined, as he is listed as questionable due to right hip soreness. The Pelicans won't be making the postseason, so how much Williamson will play during the final 10 regular season games is unclear.
