Zion Williamson News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Efficient shooting in loss Williamson closed Sunday's 136-124 loss to the Mavericks with 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact Williamson failed to reach the 20-point plateau for the first time since Oct. 30, and in fact, he has scored fewer than 20 points just twice all season, so his role as one of New Orleans' primary scoring weapons is set in stone. Williamson will always have issues with health and fitness, but he has been playing regularly so far in 2023-24, and his numbers are quite good. Through eight outings, he's averaging 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 0.8 steals per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the field.

Ruled out Wednesday Williamson (personal) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, according to Pelicans announcer Michael Grady.

Impact This is another huge blow for New Orleans, as Herb Jones remains questionable to suit up. With Williamson out, we may see a lot of Larry Nance at the four, and that could open things up at the five for Jonas Valanciunas. Williamson's next chance to play will be Friday against Houston.

Flirts with triple-double in loss Williamson had 20 points (10-22 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 134-116 loss to Denver.

Impact Williamson did a little bit of everything against the Nuggets. With CJ McCollum (lung) out for an extended period, Williamson took on an enhanced role as a a ball distributor with a season-high nine assists.

Puts up 25 points in return Williamson closed with 25 points (9-16 FG, 7-10 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 123-105 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Williamson returned to action after he was rested in New Orleans' most recent game, and it seems the move paid off, as the star forward led the team in scoring and rounded out a solid fantasy line. Health and durability will always be concerns with Williamson, but if he stays fit, he is a must-roster player across all formats and an absolute gem in dynasty or keeper leagues. He has scored at least 20 points in four of his five appearances this season.

Impact Williamson has had extensive injury concerns across his first four seasons, so it isn't surprising to see the Pelicans play it cautious on the second leg of a back-to-back Thursday.
