• Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 29 points in 23 minutes

  21H ago • By RotoWire

  Williamson totaled 29 points (9-14 FG, 11-13 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 victory over Indiana. Despite coming off the bench for the third straight game and logging just three minutes in the final frame, Williamson delivered one of his best performances of the season, matching his season high in points. It'll be interesting to see how much longer his reserve role lasts, but he's clearly making the most of his minutes on the court.

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  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.
