New Orleans Pelicans’ Zion Williamson entered the return-to-play conditioning phase

The New Orleans Pelicans announced that Zion Williamson and Jose Alvarado, both recovering from left hamstring strains, have entered the return-to-play conditioning phase and are expected to rejoin full practice next week.

Meanwhile, Brandon Ingram remains in the early treatment phase for a left ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks. Trey Murphy III sustained a mild left ankle sprain during Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets.
