Following an MRI, the New Orleans Pelicans announced that superstar forward Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury and will be reevaluated in three weeks. During Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Williamson was injured late in the third quarter. Williamson pushed the ball up court after getting a bounce back from Joel Embiid's absence, aweful event.
