Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 18 points in return
Williamson (adductor) posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 victory over the Bulls.
Returning from a six-game absence due to a right adductor strain, Williamson had his minutes monitored and ended up coming off the bench for the first time in his NBA career. Williamson looked good during his time on the court and seemingly escaped without any setbacks, so he'll likely be cleared for a larger workload and potentially a return to the starting five in the Pelicans' next game Thursday versus the Rockets.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Good to go Sunday
Williamson (thigh) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Bulls, but he will come off the bench.
Williamson, who has missed the past five games for New Orleans, comfortably beat his projected timetable. The Pelicans will likely monitor his minutes in his first game back, but no specifics have been reported.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Game-time call for Sunday
Williamson (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
Williamson appears to be well ahead of his initial timetable for a return, as he was able to make it through practice Saturday, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday. The team will presumably re-evaluate him Sunday morning before providing an update on his availability in Chicago.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Out for at least three weeks
Williamson (adductor) will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Tuesday.
Williamson is dealing with a right adductor injury, and he's now facing his second extended absence of the season. Given the return timeline, the star forward is likely to remain on the shelf until some time in late December at the earliest. The Pelicans are now positioned to depend heavily on Saddiq Bey in the frontcourt, and Derik Queen should continue to play meaningful minutes as well.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Iffy for Tuesday
Williamson has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves with right adductor soreness.
Williamson missed Sunday's game against the Lakers due to maintenance, so this is a new issue for the forward. The Pelicans tend to be cautious with Williamson, so there's a good chance he's held out. If he does sit out, the Pelicans could lean on guys such as Saddiq Bey and Micah Peavy.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Removed from injury report
Williamson (hamstring) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
After missing Sunday's game against the Lakers, Williamson is set to be available for Tuesday. The star forward has averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 30.9 minutes per tilt in 10 games this season.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Out for Sunday
Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Williamson will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back for injury management of his left hamstring, and with Trey Murphy (elbow) joining him on the sidelines, Saddiq Bey will likely be the focal point of the Pelicans' offense Sunday evening. Micah Peavy could be headed for a start, and Bryce McGowens should get all the run he can handle. Williamson will likely return for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 25 points in loss
Williamson notched 25 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 104-96 loss to the Warriors.
The Pelicans put up a good fight but came up short against the Warriors, although Williamson posted a strong stat line. Williamson has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games, and he seems to be getting into a nice groove after missing eight games in a row between Nov. 4 and Nov. 17 due to a nagging hamstring problem. The lack of availability has always been an issue with Williamson, but when he's healthy and ready to go, he's a dominant force near the rim and an excellent rebounder for his size.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Goes for 29 points in win
Williamson totaled 29 points (8-14 FG, 13-16 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 143-130 victory over the Bulls.
Williamson returned from a one-game absence, as he didn't play Saturday against the Hawks on the second leg of a back-to-back set. The 29-point output matched his previous season-high mark, and it marked the fourth time he's cleared the 25-point threshold in his eight outings. Williamson should remain one of the Pelicans' go-to scoring weapons as long as he stays healthy -- which has been a big "if" this season.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Available for Monday
Williamson (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Williamson missed the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday as he continues to manage a hamstring issue, but he will play Monday. Williamson has appeared in just two games since returning from an eight-game absence due to the hamstring injury, and he averaged 18.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals in 29.5 minutes per game in those two appearances.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Efficient in loss Friday
Williamson (hamstring) chipped in 22 points (7-9 FG, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 118-115 loss to the Mavericks.
Williamson was one of four players who scored at least 20 points for the Pelicans. Given that Saturday's game represents the second leg of a back-to-back set, he's a candidate to sit out the matchup against Atlanta, particularly since the Pelicans are being extremely cautious with his hamstring and want to avoid having him sidelined for a prolonged stretch. Williamson is averaging 18.7 points per game in three appearances in November and has played two straight games since missing eight contests in a row between Nov. 4 and Nov. 17.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Won't play Saturday
Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Williamson has played in each of the Pelicans' last two games, but he'll be held out of the second leg of the team's back-to-back set Saturday while managing a lingering left hamstring injury. Over his last two games, the 2019 No. 1 overall pick averaged 18.0 points on 59.1 percent shooting, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals over 29.5 minutes per contest. With Williamson sidelined, Yves Missi and Saddiq Bey are the top candidates to enter the Pelicans' starting lineup for Saturday's contest. Williamson's next opportunity to play is Monday against the Bulls.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 14 points in return
Williamson (hamstring) finished Wednesday's 125-118 loss to the Nuggets with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 29 minutes.
Williamson returned to the floor following an eight-game absence due to a strained left hamstring. The star big man was one of four Pelicans players to score in double figures, though he put up fewer than 14 field-goal attempts for the second time in six appearances. Perhaps more encouraging than anything was his minutes count, as Williamson fell roughly in line with his season-long average of 31.4 from his first five appearances of the season. Though Williamson emerged from Wednesday's game seemingly in good health, he'll still be a candidate to sit out one half of the Pelicans' upcoming Friday/Saturday back-to-back set versus the Mavericks and Hawks, respectively.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Available to play
Williamson (hamstring) is available to play Wednesday against the Nuggets.
This will be Williamson's first game since Nov. 2, so he'll likely face restrictions following an eight-game absence. Yves Missi will likely return to the second unit with Williamson active and Derik Queen's usage could dip.
