It's Year 8. Zion Williamson's career isn't where he wants it to be. The Pelicans aren't where they want to be either. He's still determined to get his team and himself to where everyone thought they'd be by now nola.com/sports/zion-william…

Zion Williamson enters Year 8 still determined to get Pelicans, himself to greatness

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is entering Year 8. He still wants to be one of the best players in the NBA. And he wants the Pelicans to be a playoff team. He’s determined to get there.

Tough break for Jalen Williams and OKC. I would recommend not watching any videos of the injury.

If the #Saints were in a good division, it would probably change the mindsets and they would be more willing to make changes. But they are in a division where they will always be in the mix through at least Week 15. So they are always thinking “we are right there.”

Kellen Moore said they have to look at everything when asked if he’ll consider staff changes to improve the run game. Not ready to commit one way or another.

Chase Young gets home on third down again, and he is now up to 7 sacks this year. On pace for 17 @RodWalkerNola 👀

The #Saints just pulled Justin Reid out of the game and put Jordan Howden in. Reid's headed to the locker room. Emerson also off and Riley is in. Emerson into the injury tent.

Looks like Kendre Miller was down. Saints avoid disaster twice on this drive.
