New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson gets injection in injured foot, to be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Pelicans announced Zion Williamson has received an injection in his right foot to help the bone healing process.

Williamson will be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks once further imaging on the foot can occur.

Earlier this week, Williamson traveled to Los Angeles to meet with Dr. Richard Ferkel of the Southern California Orthopedic Institute. Ferkel, who performed the initial surgery on Williamson's fractured right foot along with Pelicans team doctors, gave Williamson the biologic injection on Wednesday.

"I don't necessarily want to speak for him but I have spoken to him, but it's just been frustrating, for everyone," Pelicans coach Willie Green said after practice on Thursday.
