NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Pelicans say Zion Williamson will be sidelined for at least two more weeks while the club monitors the All-Star forward’s recovery from a right hamstring injury that occurred more than two months ago. The Pelicans will have 10 games left in the regular season after Williamson’s next scheduled evaluation. 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. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound Williamson has averaged 26 points and seven rebounds in 29 games this season. He was drafted first overall out of Duke in 2019. He missed all of last season and most of his rookie season with other injuries.
