Zion Williamson took the high road after he was suspended for a game by his New Orleans Pelicans. "This is my job, and they were holding me accountable," Williamson explained. "All I can do is be better.

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.

The Bulls' front office hasn't said anything about its plan as the trade deadline Feb. 6 nears, but losses such as the one Tuesday to the nine-win Pelicans should be all the information it needs.
