Zion Williamson - Playing 1-on-1 with coaches Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Wednesday that Williamson (foot) has been cleared for 1-on-1 work, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports. Impact Guillory relays that Williamson was spotted practicing with former NBA player and current player development coach Corey Brewer off to the side of Wednesday's practice. For basically the entire season, the 2019 No. 1 overall pick's status has been clouded by uncertainty, so it's a positive sign to see him back at practice and around the team facilities. On Tuesday, Williamson posted a video to his personal Instagram account of him throwing down an off-the-backboard, between-the-legs dunk, so based on that evidence, his surgically repaired foot looks to be doing well. However, Williamson still isn't expected to play for the remainder of this season. The hope is that he's back at full strength to begin the 2022-23 campaign.
