Zion. Williamson. 3. Ball. Two makes and a pump fake that led to a goaltending call. Pels finish with a flurry and take a 66-56 lead into the half. Zion - 15p, 2s, 5/9 FG, 2/2 3P, 3/3 FT Yves - 9p, 9r, 2b Dejounte - 11p, 5a, 2b, 2s

Absolutely loving the first half from Yves Missi tonight. Activity and energy are up.

I'm the only one on the injury report tonight (illness). You're in great hands, though! @Kelly_Crull and @butler_kalia have you covered alongside AD and Joel tonight on GCSEN and this weekend on the road. See you guys next week!

Pelicans Starters: Jeremiah Fears Herb Jones Trey Murphy III Zion Williamson Yves Missi

No Dejounte Murray tonight but he has practiced the last two days and gotten work on the court. Said tonight’s rotations will be more similar to what you’ll see in a regular season game as guys continue to ramp up.

Mose said pregame that starters need to know what it’s like to come off the bench and bench guys need to know what it’s like to start. Zion Williamson just checked in for the Pels. Trey about to check in now. Mose still using preseason to continue to try new lineup combos.
