Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has been ruled out of Wednesday night’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are similarly resting power forward Zion Williamson.

Williamson finished the win in Chicago with 21 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. Since returning from his hamstring injury, Williamson hasn't played on the backend of back-to-backs, a noteworthy note as the Pelicans return to home to host the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

Williamson is finally healthy and not under team suspension. But can he prove to the franchise that he is ready, once and for all?
