New Orleans Pelicans star forward Zion Williamson is on the verge of returning to action after missing two months because of a left hamstring strain.
The Pelicans announced that Williamson, who returned to practice last week, has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Williamson has not played since a Nov. 6 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, missing the past 27 games for the 7-29 Pelicans.
Injuries have plagued the Williamson's career, limiting the 2019 No. 1 pick to 190 games over five and a half seasons. He has career averages of 24.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
