The New Orleans Pelicans are doubling down on injury-plagued, sixth-year pro Zion Williamson, hoping he can be a more reliable and productive centerpiece in the years to come.

Zion Williamson spoke about Brandon Ingram being traded by the Pelicans and his feelings surrounding the move.

DENVER – Brandon Ingram will go down as one of the better players to wear a Pelicans uniform and be a key figurehead in the team’s transition into the post-Anthony Davis era. However, it was no surprise to see him traded on Wednesday night.

Brandon Ingram is sticking with the Toronto Raptors for the foreseeable future.
