Zion Williamson injury update: When will star return from latest injury? Pelicans' forward Zion Williamson will miss extended time with an adductor injury. Here's what to know.

DECEMBER 2 • USATODAY.COM

Out for at least three weeks Williamson (adductor) will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Williamson is dealing with a right adductor injury, and he's now facing his second extended absence of the season. Given the return timeline, the star forward is likely to remain on the shelf until some time in late December at the earliest. The Pelicans are now positioned to depend heavily on Saddiq Bey in the frontcourt, and Derik Queen should continue to play meaningful minutes as well.

Iffy for Tuesday Williamson has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves with right adductor soreness.

Impact Williamson missed Sunday's game against the Lakers due to maintenance, so this is a new issue for the forward. The Pelicans tend to be cautious with Williamson, so there's a good chance he's held out. If he does sit out, the Pelicans could lean on guys such as Saddiq Bey and Micah Peavy.

Removed from injury report Williamson (hamstring) is off the injury report for Tuesday's against Minnesota.

Out for Sunday Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Williamson will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back for injury management of his left hamstring, and with Trey Murphy (elbow) joining him on the sidelines, Saddiq Bey will likely be the focal point of the Pelicans' offense Sunday evening. Micah Peavey could be headed for a start, and Bryce McGowens should get all the run he can handle. Williamson will likely return for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Scores 25 points in loss Williamson notched 25 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 104-96 loss to the Warriors.

Impact The Pelicans put up a good fight but came up short against the Warriors, although Williamson posted a strong stat line. Williamson has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games, and he seems to be getting into a nice groove after missing eight games in a row between Nov. 4 and Nov. 17 due to a nagging hamstring problem. The lack of availability has always been an issue with Williamson, but when he's healthy and ready to go, he's a dominant force near the rim and an excellent rebounder for his size.

Goes for 29 points in win Williamson totaled 29 points (8-14 FG, 13-16 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 143-130 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Williamson returned from a one-game absence, as he didn't play Saturday against the Hawks on the second leg of a back-to-back set, and he did it with an impressive performance in this one. The 29-point output matched his previous season-high mark, and it also marked the fourth time he's cleared the 25-point threshold in his eight outings. Williamson should remain one of the Pelicans' go-to scoring weapons as long as he stays healthy -- which has been a big "if" this season.
