Is Zion Williamson playing tonight? Latest injury update for Knicks vs Pelicans Feb. 27

The New York Knicks pulled out a narrow 113-111 win over the Pistons on Monday and will be right back at it on Tuesday. The Pelicans are in town but could be without two of their best players.

New York has played without Julius Randle and OG Anunoby for a month and without Mitchell Robinson for nearly three months. New Orleans is no stranger to injuries to star players, as Zion Williamson has missed a considerable amount of time since he was drafted No. 1 overall in 2019.

He's played in 47 games so far this season (compared to the 29 he played last season), but his status for Tuesday's contest is still uncertain. Like many other non-Knicks players around the league, Zion has said that MSG is his favorite place to play. No, that doesn't mean he wants to be traded to New York, but instead, the game against the Knicks isn't one he wants to miss if he can help it. He hasn't played in New York in nearly three years.
