Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Won't play Friday

Williamson is out for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a lower back contusion.

Despite being previously left off the injury report, Williamson is now set to miss Friday's contest due to a back issue. Bruce Brown and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are candidates to receive increased playing time in Williamson's absence, while the star forward's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Detroit.
