Tuesday's matchup between the Pelicans and Grizzlies will provide an opportunity to see two of the NBA's best young players go head-to-head.
Unfortunately, only one of them might play.
While Ja Morant is expected to return to the lineup after missing a game with a sore ankle, Zion Williamson's status is up in the air.
Williamson and Morant have faced each other only four times since being selected with the top two picks in the 2019 NBA Draft. Will Tuesday mark the fifth meeting between the two stars?
Here's the latest on Williamson's injury status and everything you need to know to watch Pelicans vs. Grizzlies.
