Zion won’t play until after the All-Star break. That leaves 23 games of runway for the starting 5 we saw opening night before the postseason. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 6:18 PM

So, no Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant or Zion Williamson for the All-Star Game.
Who will the three injury replacements be? Starting to feel like Adam Silver may wait for the trade deadline dust to settle before naming the replacements. – 2:59 PM

I think you can take Willie Green’s comments the past two days at face value: I don’t think we see Zion play until after the All-Star break. Pelicans have three games before then: Cleveland on Friday; OKC on Monday; Lakers on Wednesday. – 2:52 PM

Willie Green on the possibility of seeing the opening night starting 5 of CJ/Herb/Ingram/Zion/JV before the ASB: “No, not before All-Star break. We’re not going to see our starting five — the starting five we started the season with. No.” – 2:38 PM

More on this storyline
Will Guillory: No new updates from Willie Green today on Zion Williamson’s recovery process. Said once again that he doesn’t expect to see the starting five from Opening Night before the All-Star break. -via Twitter @WillGuillory / February 8, 2023
Andrew Lopez: Willie Green again said probably won’t see the starting five (CJ-Herb-BI-Zion-JV) before All-Star break. On not seeing that group much this year: “It could be difficult at times.
