  15H ago • By RotoWire

  Williamson logged 34 points (14-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 125-118 victory over the Pacers. Williamson posted 12 points (5-20 FG) in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 loss to the Warriors, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but he bounced back with a stellar performance against the Pacers on Friday. It was Williamson's second 30-point game and third double-double of the season -- the other two were with points and rebounds. Williamson recorded at least 10 assists in only four games last season.

• Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Crashes offensive glass

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Williamson chipped in 12 points (5-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-7 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 loss to the Warriors. Williams' season-high six offensive rebounds helped him record his second double-double of the season Wednesday. However, the 24-year-old forward struggled with his efficiency and recorded as many turnovers (four) as assists. While Williamson has earned a reputation as one of the NBA's most efficient scorers, he is shooting just 36.5 percent from the field across his first four appearances this season.

• Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Records season-hgh 31 points

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Williamson logged 31 points (12-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 loss to the Warriors. Williamson enjoyed his best performance of the season in the loss. Aside from Brandon Ingram, Williamson was the only player to log double-digit points for the Pelicans. That's not a good recipe for success, as the duo will need better evenings from CJ McCollum and Herbert Jones (shoulder) to ensure success. Trey Murphy's (hamstring) eventual return will help matters, but Williamson is expected to carry a heavy load in the meantime.

• Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Struggles from floor Sunday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Williamson contributed 14 points (3-12 FG, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 125-103 loss to Portland. Williamson has struggled from the field over his last two games, going 7-for-27 from the field over that span. The Pelicans' offense will struggle at times for as long as Dejounte Murray is sidelined due to a fractured left hand. Williamson and the Pelicans will continue their three-game road trip against Golden State on Tuesday.

• Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Teases triple-double Friday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Williamson amassed 16 points (4-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-14 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 105-103 win over the Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old big was on a slight minutes restriction after missing the Pelicans' opener due to an illness, but Williamson still made a big impact. He played a career-high 70 games in 2023-24, and staying healthy remains his top priority, but Williamson could blow past the career-high 7.2 boards he recorded in 2020-21 given the heavy usage at center he's likely to see this season.
