When the Portland Trail Blazers take on the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, they will do so having to face off against star forward Zion Williamson in the lineup. He will be making his debut this year after sitting out the first game of the season.

Jordan Hawkins carried the Pelicans until Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson stepped up in a clutch road win over the Trail Blazers.

New Orleans forward Zion Williamson was in the lineup Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers after missing the Pelicans' opener. Williamson, who averaged 22.9 points last season, was scratched from the team's game Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls because of an unspecified illness.
