Zion Williamson News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Questionable for Thursday Williamson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game in Sacramento.

Impact Williamson played through the ankle issue in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, but with Thursday's game being the first of a back-to-back set against the 14-49 Kings, it wouldn't be shocking to see Williamson take the night off. If he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Saddiq Bey and Derik Queen.

Impact The Pelicans let their lead slip away despite a solid return from Williamson and excellent contributions from Trey Musrry and Saddiq Bey. Williamson finished without a rebound for the first time this season, which likely made the difference down the stretch by upping the Lakers' possessions during their fourth-quarter rally. Williamson logged 33 minutes and showed no signs of difficulty with his recent ankle injury.
