​ And lastly, I feel like the dunk contest, it could use a little bit of re-energizing. Would you ever want to do it? Zion Williamson: I’ll think about it. I’ll put heavy consideration into doing the dunk contest. I feel like if I am going to do it, I’d probably do it next year.Source: Riley Jones @ complex.com

1st 7 games after All-Star break for @Portland Trail Blazers: at Kings, home vs. Houston, at Warriors (w/o Curry), home vs Pelicans (w/o Zion), at Atlanta, Orlando and Detroit. With Nurkic and Grant back, a chance to make some hay. Anything less than 5-2 would be a disappointment.

Even without Zion, doesn’t seem like a team with the Pels personnel should struggle this much on offense. – 11:51 PM

Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
David Griffin has taken to the airwaves in the second quarter.
He’s defended the Pels medical staff, and points out the hamstring is the injury most likely to suffer a setback.
Also thinks Pels can still be a very good team if injury is limited to just Zion. – 10:48 PM

More on this storyline

Shams Charania: Pelicans All-Star Zion Williamson – sidelined since Jan. 2 with hamstring strain – re-aggravated the injury and is expected to miss additional weeks after All-Star break, David Griffin says. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / February 12, 2023

Will Guillory: David Griffin just told media in New Orleans that Zion Williamson suffered a setback in his hamstring rehab and he’ll be out several more weeks. Really tough blow for the Pelicans. Williamson hasn’t played since Jan. 2. -via Twitter @WillGuillory / February 12, 2023

Adrian Wojnarowski: Those three players are expected to place Phoenix’s Kevin Durant, Golden State’s Steph Curry and New Orleans’ Zion Williamson, sources said. -via Twitter @wojespn / February 10, 2023 HoopsHype
