Zion Williamson update from Pelicans coach Willie Green is a limited update ...

The Lakers just became the first team in league history to reach the playoffs via the Play-In Tournament three times.

The Pels take a dagger L at home ... with Zion Williamson in the locker room for crunch time after injury brought a cruel early end to his best game as a pro.
