Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson will be rested for tonight’s game with the Wizards (NBA League Pass, 8 ET), the team’s second in as many nights.

Williamson the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft out of Duke, is averaging 22.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in his first NBA season. The Pelicans have been cautious with their prize after he missed the first 45 games of the season to recover from a torn meniscus.
