Zion Williamson News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Off the mark in preseason finale Williamson posted 11 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Williamson struggled with his shot, missing all four of his three-point attempts. Staying healthy has always been the question for the 26-year-old forward, so a clean bill of health heading into the regular season is the biggest takeaway from his preseason workload.

Scores 10 points off bench Williamson finished with 10 points (5-5 FG, 0-4 FT) and one assist across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 101-97 preseason win over the Mavericks.

Impact Williamson came off the bench Wednesday after starting in two preseason contests. While free throw shooting was an issue, he managed to drain all five of his attempts from the field. The 26-year-old ended the 2025-26 campaign by averaging 21.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals over 29.7 minutes per outing. Although Williamson certainly has the potential to make a few more All-Star appearances moving forward, his durability remains a significant concern.

Quiet in exhibition loss Williamson recorded eight points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 128-118 preseason loss to Miami.

Impact Williamson struggled to find his offensive rhythm, connecting on just three of his nine field-goal attempts while making minimal contributions elsewhere. The 26-year-old forward saw a limited workload in the exhibition contest, so his modest production isn't particularly concerning. Williamson remains a focal point of New Orleans' offense heading into the 2026-27 regular season, though his availability and durability will continue to be important considerations for fantasy managers.
