New Orleans forward Zion Williamson could potentially be shut down from basketball activities as the Pelicans star continues to experience soreness in his surgically-repaired right foot, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania and Will Guillory.
Williamson underwent an MRI that showed a regression in the bone healing of his fifth metatarsal, the team announced Saturday. According to the Pelicans, the volume and intensity of Williamson's training will be reduced for an extended period to allow for further bone healing.
Williamson was cleared on Nov. 26 for full basketball activities after making substantial strides in his recovery from foot surgery.
