Wondering about Zion Williamson’s injury status? The New Orleans Pelicans star has had his fair share of setbacks throughout his career, with injuries frequently interrupting his promising trajectory. From his most recent hamstring strain to previous issues that have kept him off the court, Williamson’s recovery timeline remains a topic of interest for fans and analysts alike.
Here’s everything you need to know about Zion Williamson’s current injury, the impact it’s had on the Pelicans, and what to expect moving forward.
Zion Williamson will miss two more weeks recovering from injury
Zion Williamson will remain out of the New Orleans Pelicans lineup for at least two more weeks as he recovers from a strained left hamstring.
The team stated on Wednesday, December 4, that Williamson is making progress in his rehabilitation and will undergo re-evaluation in two weeks. Sidelined since November 11, he initially faced a 6-8 week recovery timeline, but he might require additional time before returning to action. (via NBC Sports)
The Pelicans star has averaged 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game so far this season. This reflects a larger issue in Williamson’s career, as injuries have sidelined him frequently since the Pelicans selected him No. 1 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. Despite these setbacks, the team remains committed to his future and seems to have no plans to waive him.
Williamson’s injury has come at a tough time for the Pelicans, who sit at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. The team has struggled without him, and his absence has significantly impacted their performance on both ends of the floor.
The Pelicans will continue to monitor Williamson’s recovery and reassess his status in two weeks. They hope his return can help turn their season around and provide a much-needed boost to their playoff push.
