Pelicans' Zion Williamson out Multiple Weeks After Reaggravating Hamstring Injury

Tyler ConwayFeb 12, 2023

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has no timetable for his return after aggravating the hamstring injury that's kept him out of the lineup since early January, general manager David Griffin told reporters Sunday.

Griffin said Williamson will miss "multiple weeks" and will be reevaluated following the NBA All-Star break next weekend. The All-Star forward has been out since being injured in a Jan. 2 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Griffin said Williamson was ramping up his work on the floor in preparation for a return and had been cleared for 3-on-3 work before aggravating the injury.

The Pelicans are 6-14 since Williamson went down. They've gone 17-12 during the 29 games he's been in the lineup this season, as the Duke product continues to marvel during rare stretches of health.

Williamson is averaging 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game while shooting 60.8 percent from the floor. However, the 2019 top overall selection has played just 114 games over his four-year career.

New Orleans has also played just 22 times this season with Brandon Ingram, who missed two months with a toe injury.

"It can be difficult at times," coach Willie Green recently said of the injuries. "But that's the nature of the NBA. We're not the only team that has dealt with this. Shuffling lineups and making adjustments is a part of what makes it fun, what makes it unique. Other guys are getting opportunities to get that experience. I believe I'll help us going down the stretch."

The Pelicans (29-28) are currently the No. 7 seed in the West and would be in the play-in tournament if the season ended today.
