He's hit for 30-plus points in three of his last six contests, a stretch in which he's averaging 25.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.7 boards and 1.2 blocks while shooting 56.1 percent from the floor.

Iffy against Washington Williamson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.

Impact Williamson continues to deal with a left foot bone contusion and could miss New Orleans' last contest before the All-Star Break on Wednesday. If the star forward is ruled out, Naji Marshall and Trey Murphy are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Reaches double figures in return Williamson finished Monday's 96-87 victory over the Grizzlies with 14 points (4-13 FG, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes.

Impact Williamson returned after missing the previous game with a left foot contusion, ending as one of five Pelicans players in double figures in scoring while adding a handful of rebounds in a winning effort. Williamson struggled shooting from the field despite posting a double-digit point total, shooting 30.8% from the field which is his lowest field goal percentage of the season.

Will play vs. Grizzlies Williamson (foot) is available for Monday's game against Memphis.

Impact Williamson carried a questionable tag leading up to Monday's tipoff, but he's since been given the green light after missing Saturday's clash against Portland. The 23-year-old is coming off a strong 30-point showing Friday night against the Lakers.

Game-time decision Monday Williamson (foot) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Williamson is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a left foot contusion. The 23-year-old has suited up on the last two occasions for which he was deemed a game-time decision, but his status will still need to be monitored.

Questionable for Monday Williamson (foot) is questionable to play Monday against Memphis.

Impact Williamson is dealing with a left foot bruise, which sidelined him for Saturday's win over Portland. Saturday's matchup represented the second half of the back-to-back for New Orleans, so it's possible that the Pelicans exercised an abundance of caution by resting Williamson, but his status will nonetheless need to be monitored in advance of Monday's game.

Won't play Saturday Williamson (foot) will not play in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Saturday's game is the second leg of the back-to-back set, so the Pelicans will take a cautious approach after Williamson produced 30 points (12-19 FG, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes Friday versus the Lakers. With Williamson out, the Pelicans could lean on Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall and Larry Nance a bit more than usual.

Considered questionable Williamson is listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Trail Blazers due to a bruised left foot.

Impact Williamson presumably picked up the injury in Friday's 139-122 loss to the Lakers. He accumulated 30 points (12-19 FG, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes in the contest. His status Saturday will seemingly depend on how his foot is feeling once he tests it out prior to tipoff. Naji Marshall (back) and Herbert Jones would be candidates for increased run at power forward if Williamson ultimately has to sit out.

Sniffs double-double in loss Williamson amassed 30 points (12-19 FG, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 139-122 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Friday marked Williamson's seventh scoring total of 30-plus points, and although the Pelicans are dangerous when Zion is dialed in, they didn't have enough firepower to overcome the Lakers' 87 points in the first half. The best news for New Orleans is that Williamson is healthy after missing the first 10 games of the season. Injuries have plagued the Duke product throughout his four years in the league, but his ceiling is unlimited if he can stay on the floor.

Will play Friday Williamson (foot) will play in Friday's game against the Lakers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Williamson was carrying a questionable tag into Friday's game, but he'll see his usual minutes barring a setback in warmups. In his most recent game Wednesday versus the Clippers, Williamson produced 21 points (7-16 FG, 7-10 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Williamson is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers with a left foot bone contusion.

Impact Williamson has been battling this injury since Jan. 26 and has missed two of the past seven games for New Orleans. Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set with Portland on the schedule for Saturday, so a maintenance day could be on the table for one of these games.

Puts up double-double in victory Williamson closed Wednesday's 117-106 victory over the Clippers with 21 points (7-16 FG, 7-10 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes.

Impact Williamson enjoyed his second-highest assist total of the season in the win, and he's picked up a step as he continues to recover from a lingering foot injury. The All-Star is on pace for his healthiest season as a pro after appearing in only 29 games during the 2022-23 campaign. Williamson has averaged 22.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists over 41 games.
