For Wednesday’s game, the New Orleans Pelicans are set to hit the road and square off against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center.
One of the Pelicans’ brightest stars, Zion Williamson, is conspicuously absent from the roster due to ‘personal reasons.’

Speculation surrounding Zion Williamson’s absence has been further fueled his girlfriend, Ahkeema, has posted a picture from the hospital room.
The reason behind Zion’s absence from this crucial game might be the impending arrival of their first child.
Zion and his partner Ahkeema revealed they were expecting a baby girl in June.
So, if one does the math, the time of delivery has arrived!
Zion Williamson has completed his fourth season with the New Orleans Pelicans.
During this time, he has participated in 119 regular-season games and maintained an average of 25.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.
Next, Pelicans are scheduled to face off against the Houston Rockets in Texas this Friday.
