New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson suffered from a right ankle injury and will not return to the team's Saturday showcase against the Utah Jazz.

Williamson reportedly tweaked his ankle and left with 9:33 left in the second quarter.
He finished the night with four points, two assists and one rebound across 11 minutes.
Williamson is enjoying the healthiest stretch of his career as he played his 35th consecutive game.
As such, this latest injury development is an awful one for New Orleans fans, putting the star forward's active streak at risk as they will play the Los Angeles Clippers immediately on Sunday.
With Williamson out for the rest of the game, Karlo Matkovic and Derik Queen are set to draw more minutes for the Pels.
New Orleans leads with a huge margin over Utah to start the second half, 65-40.
