The team's leader has been placed in NBA's health and safety protocols and will have to sit out the game against the San Antonio Spurs Thursday night. On Friday, the Pelicans travel to face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Williamson has been averaging 25.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists for the team this season.

Due to injuries and various other issues, the trio of Ingram, Williamson, and CJ McCollum has only played 10 games together this season. Nevertheless, the Pelicans have been one of the most surprising teams in the league and even led the Western Conference not that long ago.

With 18 wins and 12 losses, the Pelicans are now third in the conference standings.
