Three days after New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson produced a highly encouraging performance in his first game back from a two-month injury absence on Tuesday night, the 2018-19 Duke basketball forward sat out a second straight outing.

The New Orleans Pelicans’ tumultuous season continues as two-time All-Star Zion Williamson faces a suspension for violating team policies, casting further doubt on the team's prospects.

Zion Williamson was suspended one game by the Pelicans for arriving late to the team’s flight to Philadelphia, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania . He’ll miss New Orleans’ Friday night game against the 76ers as a result.
