Zion Williamson: I Could Play, But the Pelicans Are Holding Me Out of Back-to-Backs

New Orleans remains cautious to prevent further injuries

Zion Williamson has addressed his limited availability in back-to-back games, making it clear that the decision comes from the New Orleans Pelicans, not his physical condition.

“Let me make this clear: if I could play in back-to-backs, I would. Physically? Yes, I can. But I work for the Pelicans. They have decided, based on the numbers, that it’s not smart to do that right now,” Williamson said.

The star forward has played in just 13 games this season after returning from a hamstring injury. The Pelicans are proceeding cautiously to prevent further setbacks.
