In a significant development for the New Orleans Pelicans, Zion Williamson has been upgraded to questionable for their upcoming game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Williamson has been sidelined for 27 consecutive games due to a right hamstring injury. After undergoing his rehabilitation program, the Pelicans received promising news as Williamson participated in practice, giving fans hope for his return to the court. The Pelicans have been missing Williamson’s impact, with the team struggling during his absence. Head Coach Willie Green expressed optimism, stating, ‘It’s a big boost for our team. Whenever you can get a player of his caliber back, it changes things for us on both ends of the floor.’ Williamson, who was selected as the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, had been averaging 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists before his injury. The Pelicans currently hold a record of 22-19, and the return of their star player could be pivotal in their playoff ambitions. “I’m just taking it day by day and doing what I can in practice,” Williamson said in a recent interview. “I can’t wait to be out there with my teammates again.” Fans are eagerly awaiting whether he will be cleared to play in this crucial game.
