Pelicans vs Clippers: Zion's Status, Murray's Return

0:00For the NBA, it's March 1st, and here's what's going on. The New Orleans Pelicans have won four straight games and climbed to 13th in the Western Conference. They face the Clippers tonight, who hold the last play in spot. A win could keep their postseason hopes alive. The Pelicans played in Utah last night, so they are on the second night of a back-to-back. Zion Williamson sprained his right ankle and is questionable, though he might play. On a brighter side, Trey Murphy returns after missing time with the shoulder injury since the All-Star break. The Jante Murray is also available for his third game back from an Achilles issue and could log about 25 minutes. Coach James Borrego faces tough lineup choices if Zion plays, with all three veterans likely starting. That might bend Sadeek Bay, who has averaged over 25 points lately. Meanwhile, the rest of Clippers welcome back Kawaii Leonard from his ankle woes. John Collins is questionable, with head and neck issues, and Darius Garland still has not debuted. Tip off is at 9 p.m. Eastern at Intuit Dome.
