Zion Williamson was absent as the New Orleans Pelicans were swept
The No. 8 seeded Pelicans weren’t expected to make it to the second round. They were missing their star player, Zion Williamson, due to an injury he suffered when the team lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in their first play-in game. The Pelicans didn’t seem to interested in making the first round competitive, as the No. 1 seeded Thunder one most of the series in blowout fashion.
Pelicans fans want Brandon Ingram traded
Many Pelicans fans didn’t like Ingram’s performance against the Thunder. He scored just 57 points in the series. On Monday night, he went 2-14 against the Thunder and was 0-3 shooting the three-ball.
Ingram has been with the Pelicans since 2019. He was named the NBA’s Most Improved Player in 2020 and an All-Star selection in 2020. But many fans appear ready to move on from Ingram this offseason.
