Zion Williamson day-to-day for Pelicans after tweaking ankle
MIAMI — New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson understands the microscope he’s under when it comes to injuries.
It’s why when he left Wednesday night’s 120-103 preseason loss to the Miami Heat with left ankle soreness, he knew what to expect on social media before he even looked at his phone.
“Twitter already did its thing,” Williamson said jokingly. “They are the doctors apparently.”
It was easy for Williamson to joke since he avoided a serious injury. Both Williamson and Pelicans coach Willie Green said they expect the 22-year-old to be day-to-day moving forward. He was removed from Wednesday’s game for precautionary reasons.
Green said the team does not expect Williamson to miss an extended period of time.
Williamson rolled his ankle with 9:30 left in the second quarter on a drive to the basket. When he planted his left foot trying to get into the lane around Heat center Dewayne Dedmon, Williamson tweaked the ankle.
He continued to play for almost another three minutes before checking out for good with 6:42 left in the second quarter.
Williamson had 11 points on 3-of-7 shooting while going 5-of-6 from the line in just under 11 minutes of work. He added four assists and two rebounds.
“It was one of those things where it happened and I popped back up, like, ‘Yeah, I’m straight,'” Williamson said. “Played a few minutes after that, it felt fine. Then they sent me to the back just to double check. We wanted to look at it, had a doc look at it, and he just said a little day-to-day soreness. And, but outside of that, I personally feel fine. Wasn’t bad news from the docs.”
The Pelicans finish the preseason on Friday in Birmingham, Alabama, against the Atlanta Hawks. They tip off the regular season on Oct. 19 in Brooklyn against the Nets.
Asked whether he gets the uproar surrounding his injuries, Williamson, who played in 85 games over his first two seasons before missing last year with a broken right foot, said it takes him back to the Notorious B.I.G. album “Ready to Die.” Williamson said the album “changed his life” and helped him focus throughout his rehab last season.
“I mean, you just learned that you, that’s just how the world is,” Williamson said. “There’s nothing I can do to change that. That’s just how the world is.”
The Pelicans were hopeful to have their projected starting lineup in action Friday, as the group hasn’t played together yet this preseason. Brandon Ingram has yet to make his preseason debut because of left fifth toe soreness, while CJ McCollum played in just his second game of the preseason on Wednesday.
Prior to Wednesday’s game, Ingram told ESPN that he “felt good” and was making progressions in his rehab process to put him in a position to play against the Hawks.
Tweaking The 2023 BMW 7-Series Makes It Look Even More Like A Rolls-Royce
This is a rendering by Sugar Chow and is not related to nor endorsed by BMW.
At this point most people are aware that BMW owns Rolls-Royce. But now that the German automaker has just debuted their latest 7-Series flagship sedan, it begs the question if they could bring it upmarket enough to compete on the same level as Rolls if they wanted to. Digital artist Sugar Chow tried to imagine that as they injected some of the British luxury brand’s DNA into the latest 7er.
The overarching trend of the redesign seems to be squaring it off more to put it in line with Rolls-Royce‘s imposing, almost architectural design language. This is very evident up front, where the hood and bumper now join at with a same type of 90-degree character line found on all three of Rolls-Royce’s current models.

Chow also leaned into BMW‘s large grille theme by making it nearly as tall as the bumper, but it’s surprisingly quite tolerable. On the opposite front, the controversial quad headlights were toned down by combining them into a single unit at the top. The crease connected to the headlight now extends from top to bottom on the bumper, and it pairs with the aforementioned 90-segree character line that extends across the side of the car. The bumper and grille also feature a new horizontal kink to accommodate the newly empty space created by joining the headlights.

Out back, the changes were minimal but impactful. The crease on the bottom of the bumper changed directions to point towards the rear of the car, and it was extended upward to join the character line through the lower part of the trunk. The reflectors were also moved to the bottom of the bumper and the license plate area was revised slightly. Additionally, the taillights were also squared off and lengthened, and the lighting design changed to something more similar to the all-red ones found on the 5-Series. The final touch involved moving the i7 badge from the top left corner of the rear end to dead center on the trunk for more impact.
We’d argue that Sugar Chow’s design may even be better than the one BMW put out given how much more solidity and presence it has to it, but what do you think? Let us know in the comments.
