Report: Pelicans’ Zion Williamson May Need a Second Surgery on His Right Foot

New Orleans star Zion Williamson—who has not played in a game for the Pelicans this season due to complications from his broken right foot—may need another surgery, according to Christian Clark of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Williamson, who was originally slated to return to practice in December, has encountered several setbacks in his recovery process. In December, an MRI revealed that Williamson suffered a regression in the bone healing of his fifth metatarsal. During that same month, the 21-year-old received an injection to aid in the healing process. Then, since early January, Williamson has continued his foot rehabilitation away from the team in Portland.
