Zion Williamson (hamstring) to miss at least another 2 weeks
The Pelicans’ All-Star forward has been sidelined since Jan. 2 with a hamstring injury
Zion Williamson will be sidelined for at least two more weeks while the New Orleans Pelicans monitor the All-Star forward’s recovery from a right hamstring injury that occurred more than two months ago, the club announced Wednesday night.
Recent medical imaging "revealed that Williamson’s hamstring continues to heal," a statement released by the club said. "His next examination will take place in approximately two weeks."
After that next examination, the Pelicans will have 10 games left in the regular season.
New Orleans is 8-20 since Williamson’s injury on Jan. 2 and entered Wednesday night’s action in a three-way tie for 10th place in the Western Conference with a record of 31-34.
Now the Pelicans must play at least their next seven games without the 6-foot-6, 285-pound Williamson, who has averaged 26 points and seven rebounds in 29 games this season.
