The New Orleans Pelicans have been giving Zion Williamson more opportunities to bring the ball up the court in a bid to spark the team's offense.
With starting point guard Lonzo Ball sidelined by a hip injury, the 6-foot-7, 284-pound Williamson was the primary ballhandler during the 35 minutes he played in a 101-94 home victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. Williamson scored 37 points, tied a career-high with eight assists and added a personal-best 15 rebounds.
With Ball still sidelined, Williamson figures to have the same role on Sunday when the Pelicans visit the Cleveland Cavaliers.
