The Pelicans announced forward Zion Williamson will miss at least three weeks with a hamstring injury, after which the team will reevaluate him. Williamson suffered the injury during Monday night’s game against the 76ers.
After missing the entire 2021-22 season with a foot injury, Williamson has returned to New Orleans with a strong season to date. He is averaging a team-best 26 points and 7 rebounds, along with 4.6 assists in 29 games. The Pelicans currently have a 23-14 record and sit in third place in the Western Conference (one game back of the first-place Nuggets for first place).
