The NBA Pelicans have a poor season and are currently only playing the second-to-last record in the West, and on April 1, the team announced that the two main players, Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum, decided to shut them down early due to injuries at the end of the season, and will not play the rest of the game.

Williamson and McCarron were sidelined due to different injuries, Williamson suffered a lower back bone contusion on March 19, and McCarron suffered a right foot contusion on March 23.

Last season, the Pelicans entered the play-in tournament with a 49-33 record and entered the playoffs as the eighth seed, but they were swept by the Thunder in the first round, with only 21 wins and 54 losses so far this season, and the second-to-last record in the West has been confirmed to eliminate, and the record in the league is the fourth-to-last.

According to the NBA draft lottery rules, the bottom 3 teams are all 14% can draw the top pick, and the bottom 4 has a 12.5% chance of winning the top pick.
