Sniffs triple-double Sunday Williamson racked up 29 points (11-21 FG, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 win over the Suns.

Impact Williamson returned from a one-game absence, and it seemed he wasn't bothered at all by the finger injury that caused him to miss Friday's loss to the Spurs, as the star forward ended just three assists away from recording a triple-double. Williamson has embraced a more prominent role as a playmaker but also remains an elite offensive weapon, and he's averaged 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Will play Sunday Williamson (finger) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Williamson missed Friday's loss to the Spurs but practiced Saturday and will return to action Sunday. Over his last six appearances, Williamson has averaged 27.2 points, 5.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 35.5 minutes per game.

Officially listed as questionable Williamson (finger) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact Williamson went through practice Saturday and seems to be trending in the right direction after missing Friday's loss to the Spurs. The return of the star forward could mean a decrease in offensive touches for Jonas Valanciunas, as the Pelicans' offense should flow through Williamson if he ends up being available. The star forward has averaged 24.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Practices Saturday Williamson (finger) participated in Saturday's practice, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Williamson bruised his finger earlier in the week and sat out of Friday's game as a result. His presence at practice indicates he is trending in the right direction. Still, more clarity on his status should come once the Pelicans release the injury report for Sunday's game in Phoenix.

Out Friday Williamson (finger) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Impact While X-rays came back negative on Williamson's left middle finger injury, the Pelicans will err on the side of caution with their prized power forward. In his absence, Larry Nance, Naji Marshall and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are candidates to absorb his minutes.

Impact Despite X-rays coming back negative on Williamson's left middle finger injury, he is still in danger of missing Friday's contest. If Williamson is ruled out against San Antonio, Larry Nance, Naji Marshall and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are candidates to receive increased playing time.
