Zion Williamson scored 22 points in his return from a 27-game absence, but the Pelicans fell 104-97 to the Timberwolves. Williamson electrified the crowd with a jaw-dropping 360-degree dunk, showing no signs of rust from his recovery.<\/p>\n

“It doesn\u2019t seem like he missed a beat,” said coach Willie Green, praising Zion’s dedicated rehab effort.<\/p>\n

With 22 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals in just 28 minutes, Williamson showcased his impact. However, the Pelicans continue to struggle, now holding a 7-30 record for the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
