Zion Williamson

Zion Williamson (adductor) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Thursday night will mark the third-straight game that Williamson has missed due to an adductor injury. The team has not yet established a concrete timetable for his recovery, and fantasy managers should keep close tabs on updates about his health. Saddiq Bey and Karlo Matkovic (calf) will both continue to be beneficiaries of his absence for the foreseeable future.

A new physical setback has placed Zion Williamson's status in jeopardy for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, as the team downgraded him to questionable due to right adductor soreness. This injury is unrelated to the maintenance reasoning that kept him out of Sunday's loss to the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

The Pelicans have historically taken a conservative approach with Williamson's health, making this late addition to the injury report a significant concern for fantasy managers. If the star forward is unable to suit up, the rotation shuffle would likely funnel increased playing time toward Saddiq Bey and Micah Peavy.

Zion Williamson is off the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Williamson is set to return after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Lakers. Yves Missi should return to his reserve role.

Zion Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s contest between the New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

Williamson will receive the second contest of a back-to-back off for hamstring injury management, joining Jordan Poole and Trey Murphy III out of the starting lineup Sunday night. Saddiq Bey should command the majority of touches while leading a depleted New Orleans starting five against the Lakers Sunday night.

Zion Williamson scored 25 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3PT, 9-10 FT) to go along with seven rebounds and four assists in the Pelicans 104-96 loss against the Warriors.

Fantasy Impact

Williamson has continued to showcase improvement as a free throw shooter this season which is encouraging. He has added at least 22 points scored in three of his past four games.
