ZION WILLIAMSON NEWS

Ruled out Friday Williamson (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Impact Williamson was considered a game-time decision prior to Friday's matchup, but there was believed to be a real chance that he didn't suit up. He'll officially be held out for a second consecutive game, which should lead to increased work for Larry Nance, Jaxson Hayes and Naji Marshall.

Injury Report: Zion Williamson Likely Returning Sunday vs. Clippers New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is questionable vs. the Phoenix Suns, could return vs. LA Clippers

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Game-time call, may sit again Williamson (hip) is a true game-time call Friday versus the Suns, but there is a "real likelihood" he will not play until Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski indicated on ESPN.

Impact Williamson will at least test things out in warmups ahead of Friday's contest, but it sounds more likely that he will sit out one more before returning Sunday. With Brandon Ingram (concussion) already ruled out and numerous questionable players across the roster, there are multiple potential starting lineups the Pelicans could send out depending on availability.

Questionable Friday Williamson (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williamson missed Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a posterior hip and low back contusion, but he was able to participate in part of Thursday's practice session. If the 22-year-old is forced to miss a second consecutive game, Larry Nance, Jaxson Hayes and Naji Marshall should see increased run against Phoenix.

Impact Green noted he's uncertain about Williamson's status for the opener of the road trip Friday against the Suns, but that doesn't appear to be off the table either. He will miss Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, at a minimum. Given Zion's injury history, it's a bit worrisome that the big man is already experiencing issues. However, managers likely drafted Williamson knowing the risks and expecting missed games, considering he's played just 88 contests over his first three NBA campaigns.

Zion Williamson, Ingram, Jones out for Pelicans vs. Mavs

The Pelicans have ruled out power forward Zion Williamson and wing player Herb Jones against the Dallas Mavericks

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • Associated Press

Won't play Tuesday Williamson (hip/back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Mavericks.

Impact Williamson suffered a posterior hip and low back contusion after falling awkwardly during a dunk attempt against the Jazz on Saturday. The superstar forward appears to have avoided a major injury, but the Pelicans will keep him sidelined for at least one game. Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Herbert Jones (knee) are also out, leaving three open spots in New Orleans' starting lineup. Williamson will have a few days to recover before the Pelicans return to action against the Suns on Friday, though the big man's availability for that contest is far from certain.

Questionable Tuesday Williamson (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Mavericks, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Williamson left Sunday's game following a scary fall on a dunk attempt, but he looks to have avoided a major injury. He was diagnosed with a posterior hip contusion, but the injury could be something that prompts the Pelicans to err on the side of caution with the star big man Tuesday. If Williamson ends up sitting against Dallas, look for Larry Nance and Jaxson Hayes to be among the primary beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint.

Impact Williamson tallied 25 points (10-16 FG, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, an assist, a steal and two blocks in 30 minutes during Sunday's matchup, but he was unavailable to close out the game due to his hip injury. It's not yet clear whether the issue will force him to miss additional time, but it's certainly a discouraging development given Williamson's injury history over the last few seasons.
