Zion Williamson Still Out Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) will miss another game Friday versus Boston.

Jarrett Allen Returning Versus Charlotte

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) will play on Friday against Charlotte. The 24-year-old has missed the last two games due to left ankle soreness.
