The New Orleans Pelicans announced forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) is progressing well through rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Barring any setbacks and with a tentative timeline in place, the 24-year-old could return on December 19th versus the Houston Rockets. The Pelicans may continue to proceed cautiously and not rush Williamson back, though. However, the team is desperate for help, sitting in last place in the Western Conference, with several injured players.
Zion Williamson Expected To Miss A Considerable Amount Of Time
On Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania said on the Pat McAfee show that New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) will be out for a "considerable amount of time." The Pelicans had already announced Saturday that the 24-year-old would be out indefinitely. Williamson has averaged 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks this regular season. However, he's been limited to only six games. With Williamson out moving forward, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, averaging 12.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in two starts this season, can hopefully continue to fill the void in the rotation.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) is out indefinitely, the team announced on Saturday. The 24-year-old has averaged 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks this season. However, he's been limited to only six games. Fantasy managers remember when a hamstring injury forced the former Duke Blue Devil to miss the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign, so there is obvious concern. Hopefully, that won't be the case this time around. With Williamson sidelined moving ahead, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, averaging 12.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in two starts this season, could continue to fill the void in the rotation, at least until Trey Murphy III (hamstring) or Herbert Jones (shoulder) are back on the court.
According to Orlando Magic beat writer Adam Koffler, New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green announced that power forward Zion Williamson will not play in Friday's game against Orlando because of tightness in his left hamstring. The 24-year-old attempted to participate in the game on Wednesday but temporarily left due to an unspecified injury; however, he managed to complete the game. With Williamson unavailable, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Daniel Theis are expected to receive more minutes on the court.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) has received a questionable tag for the team's Friday night contest against the Orlando Magic. The Duke product was able to give it a go on Wednesday, left briefly with an undisclosed injury at the time, but finished out the game. While his scoring and efficiency has taken a bit of a dip, Williamson has increased his rebounding and block numbers so far. If he's unable to suit up, however, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Daniel Theis will see some added minutes and opportunities.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (thigh) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man is back in the starting five after missing the last two games due to right thigh soreness. This is great news for the banged up Pelicans roster right now. The return of Williamson should shift Jeremiah Robinson-Earl back to the bench. It's unlikely that Robinson-Earl is going to have viable streaming value with Williamson back in the mix. Fantasy managers can get Williamson back in their lineups on Wednesday.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (thigh) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Williamson has missed the last two games due to right thigh soreness. The oft-injured big man has been solid when healthy, but keeping him on the court has been a struggle. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl finished with 12 points and five rebounds across 33 minutes of action on Monday. He's worth a look as a low-end streaming option if Williamson misses another game.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (thigh) remains out on Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The former Duke Blue Devil wasn't available for Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks, so he'll miss a second consecutive game because of thigh soreness. His next chance to get on the floor will be on Wednesday against the visiting Cavs. But as far as Monday's contest is concerned, fantasy managers can expect more minutes for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Daniel Theis, and Yves Missi.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) is officially questionable for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The talented forward missed Sunday's game, and his status for Monday remains uncertain. If he sits out again, players like Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Jamal Cain could see increased minutes. Fantasy managers are hoping for consistent health from Williamson this season, as he's been a strong contributor when on the court, averaging 21.4 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (illness) will be under a minutes restriction for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The good news is that Williamson is available after sitting out the season opener. However, he still must not be feeling 100 percent considering the team is going to limit him here. Head coach Willie Green didn't say exactly how much Williamson is going to play. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can go ahead and get Williamson in there. DFS players might want to look elsewhere for help as Williamson might not be worth his price for Friday's slate.
