During their match with the Utah Jazz, the energy was palpable. Zion Williamson got the ball and went for a dunk. Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson blocked him forcefully, causing Williamson to fall awkwardly and slam onto the hardwood, landing on his tailbone.
Clarkson’s block was immediately swept up by the court’s concern for the Pelicans player. People rushed to help Williamson, who was writhing in pain.
