Pelicans star Zion Williamson has been cleared to resume team activities and is expected to play Friday vs. the Lakers, according to ESPN's Andrew Lopez.
Williamson did not play in Wednesday night's loss to the Clippers because of the league's health and safety protocols, the team announced.
"He had inconclusive [COVID-19 test] results and the timing became a factor," head coach Stan Van Gundy said on Wednesday. "He's not with us here at the game tonight. He's back in his hotel room. We'll know more as further results come back."
According to ESPN, Williamson's test result on Thursday returned negative.
