PHILADELPHIA — CJ McCollum scored 38 points lead a New Orleans Pelicans team playing without the suspended Zion Williamson past the Philadelphia 76ers 123-115. Williamson was suspended for one game for a violation of team policies, that included repeated lateness to practices or flights. The Pelicans also played without forward and top defensive player Herb Jones. Jones is sidelined indefinitely with a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder. McCollum was enough for the eight-win Pelicans to topple a 76ers team that played without All-Star center Joel Embiid
