Zion Williamson injury update: Pelicans star set to miss time with hamstring strain Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a "grade 1 left hamstring strain." How much time will he miss?

NOVEMBER 4 • USATODAY.COM

Expected to miss at least one week The Pelicans announced Tuesday that Williamson will miss at least one week due to a strained left hamstring.

Impact The timeline likely puts Williamson out of action for at least New Orleans' next four games. Realistically, the star forward will likely be re-evaluated prior to the Nov. 12 matchup against Portland. The Pelicans will likely turn to a combination of Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey to fill out Williamson's minutes for the next week or so.

Iffy for Tuesday Williamson is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte with left hamstring soreness.

Impact This is a new issue for Williamson after he previously battled a foot issue. Hamstring injuries are a major cause for concern, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the team could proceed with caution.

Just misses double-double Sunday Williamson closed with 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-12 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 137-106 loss to the Thunder.

Impact The 25-year-old forward hit for at least 20 points for the second straight game and the fourth time in five contests, and he came one board shy of his second double-double. Williamson also led the Pelicans in assists on the afternoon, dishing at least five for the third time this season. He's averaging 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and an impressive 2.0 steals in 31.4 minutes a contest to begin the campaign.

Slams home season-high 29 Williamson produced 29 points (9-17 FG, 11-13 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Friday's 126-124 loss to the Clippers.

Impact After managing only 11 points Wednesday in his return from a one-game absence due to a minor bone bruise in his foot, Williamson looked more like his usual self Friday and set a new season scoring high. The 25-year-old forward is averaging 23.5 points, 6.3 boards, 4.3 assists and 2.3 steals in 32.3 minutes through four games, and as per usual it's his ability to stay on the court that will be key to his fantasy value.

Struggles in return Williamson ended Wednesday's 122-88 loss to Denver with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Impact Williamson played through a foot issue, returning to action after missing the previous game. While it was good to see him back on the floor, it was certainly not his best performance. Whether the injury played a part in his lack of production is anyone's guess. What is clear is how bad New Orleans has been to begin the season. The hope is that Williamson can get things back on track from both a personal level and a team level when the team travels to Los Angeles to face the Clippers on Friday.
