Zion Williamson’s expected return a timely one for Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to welcome back Zion Williamson into the fold Monday night against the Indiana Pacers.
The starting power forward, who missed the last two games as he sat in COVID-19 health and safety protocols, was not listed on Sunday’s official injury report.
Brandon Ingram remains out with a left great toe contusion and Larry Nance Jr. is questionable with right Achilles soreness.
Williamson’s return is a timely one with the Pelicans scheduled to face playoff-caliber opponents five times in the next eight days. After the Pacers, the Timberwolves, Grizzlies and two meetings against the 76ers await.
