Pelicans' Zion Williamson Out at Least 2 More Weeks, 'Progressing' amid Injury

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson will have his left hamstring strain re-evaluated in two weeks, the Pelicans announced on Wednesday.

Williams "is progressing well through rehabilitation," according to the team.

The Pelicans announced on Nov. 9 that Williams would be out "indefinitely" with the left hamstring injury.

Williamson had already sat out four of the Pelicans' first 10 games of the season before suffering the injury. When available, he was averaging 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 31 minutes per game.

Although Williamson played a career-high 70 games for the Pelicans last season, his latest injury means he has seen all six of his NBA campaigns so far significantly impacted by injury.

After playing just 24 games in his rookie season due to a knee injury, Williams was held to 61 games in his second year after fracturing a finger.

He missed the entire 2021-22 campaign with a foot injury, and was limited to 29 games after suffering a strained right hamstring in 2023-24.

Last season Williamson's campaign ended early once again when he suffered a left hamstring strain during a play-in game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was then sidelined for the entirety of the Pelicans' sweep by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

At the time of his latest injury, Williamson had missed 210 out of the 400 games the Pelicans have played since drafting him in 2019. New Orleans has yet to make it past the first round in two postseason bids over that span.

The Pelicans will hope to get good injury news about Williamson in two weeks as the team looks to recover from a 4-18 start to the season.
