Former Duke basketball sensations Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson combined forces to silence Portland in emphatic fashion.
Duke basketball legend Zion Williamson was out with an illness in the New Orleans Pelicans' Wednesday night season opener, in which Dejounte Murray sustained a left hand fracture that has the star newcomer out of commission indefinitely. Nevertheless, the franchise is now off to a 2-0 start after posting a 49-33 record last go-round, its most regular season wins in 15 years.
The Pelicans and their surging Duke basketball duo — already three career NBA All-Star selections between the 24-year-old Zion Williamson and recently turned 27-year-old Brandon Ingram — remain in Portland for the Blazers' instant-revenge opportunity at 6 p.m. ET Sunday.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of Duke Blue Devils on SI, North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
