Sources: Pelicans Zion Williamson out through All-Star break
Williamson was voted in as a starter for the game despite having only played in 29 games this season. When Williamson has played, the Pelicans are 17-12, but without him, they are 12-15.


******
Williamson hurt his hamstring on Jan. 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers in the third quarter. He has not played since. In those 29 games, Williamson is averaging 26 points, seven rebounds and 4.6 assists while shooting 60.8% from the floor.
 

Giannis, Damian Lillard among All-Star Saturday participants​


Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo is teaming up with his brothers again on All-Star Saturday. Portland's Damian Lillard is taking a third shot at the 3-point title, which Indiana's Buddy Hield will aim to win again, and Philadelphia's Mac McClung now can be a slam dunk champion at the NBA and high
school levels. The NBA released the full list of participants for All-Star Saturday's events in Salt Lake City: the skills competition, the 3-point contest and the dunk contest. It'll be a particularly busy weekend for 11 players who are now slotted to be in multiple events during the three days of action in Utah.
