Coming off a season-high, 36-point outing in a victory Monday against Minnesota – the team with the NBA’s top record and No. 1 defensive ranking – forward Zion Williamson is officially listed as questionable to play Wednesday at Washington (6 p.m. Central, Bally Sports, 99.5 FM) due to a left ankle sprain. The fourth-year forward has previously appeared in 20 of 24 games this season, the sixth-most games played on the New Orleans roster.
Three Pelicans players are listed as out for Wednesday’s meeting with the Wizards, including Larry Nance Jr. (right rib fracture), Matt Ryan (right elbow strain) and Dereon Seabron (G League two-way).
