Pelicans Injury Update: Is Brandon Ingram Playing Tonight vs Hawks?

The New Orleans Pelicans look like a formidable team this season. With Zion Williamson healthy, the Pelicans have raced to four wins out of five games. They aim to maintain this momentum as they take on the Atlanta Hawks in their upcoming game. Unfortunately, the Pelicans have faced some misfortune, as several key players are doubtful for the match.

The introduction of the In-Season Tournament has made the regular season games more significant than ever before. So fans would hope that the Pelicans can face the Hawks with full strength. However, star player Brandon Ingram is a major injury concern for the game.

Team news for the game against the Hawks

The Pelicans have started the season in red-hot form. They currently occupy the fourth position in the highly competitive Western Conference, albeit with just five games played so far. But that doesn’t change the fact that the Pelicans have looked formidable with Zion and Ingram healthy. However, health has always been their Achilles’ heel, with both Zion and Ingram being highly susceptible to injuries. The Pelicans need to be consistent this season and in order to be consistent, key players like Zion and Ingram need to stay healthy.

The introduction of the In-Season tournament has made the regular season more intriguing and the Pelicans will get the first taste of it when they face the Hawks later tonight. The Pelicans will miss the services of players like Jose Alvarado, Trey Murphy III, and Naji Marshall. While the New Orleans faithful can count on Zion to play, the same can’t be said about Ingram. Ingram has been listed as doubtful for the game due to right knee tendonitis. They would look to continue their hot streak against the Hawks, but it will be considerably difficult with Ingram.

Predicted Lineup against the Hawks

Tonight’s game between the Pelicans and the Hawks has all the ingredients to be a mouth-watering game. Both Trae Young and Zion will look to lead their teams to victory and perhaps become the inaugural winners of the In-Season tournament in one month’s time.
