In Need of Zion
The Pelicans open the NBA restart against the Jazz. Here's the latest on Zion Williamson's status.JULY 30, 2020
Playing in short bursts Williamson (coach's decision) will play in short bursts Thursday against the Jazz, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williamson apparently felt good enough in pregame warmups, but his minutes will be limited since he recently returned to the bubble after attending to a family matter. He's played fewer than 30 minutes seven times this season, but still managed to average 22.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in those contests.

Pregame warmup to determine status Williamson (coach's decision) will go through pregame warmups before a decision is made regarding his status for Thursday's opener against the Jazz, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com report...
Impact Zion will be a game-time call for Thursday's action and could be on a minute limit even if he does play. Coach Alvin Gentry noted that if Zion is out, Nico Melli would draw the start at power forward.

Could be limited Thursday Williamson could face a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play Thursday against Utah, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
Impact The Pelicans still have not made an official ruling on Williamson's status, but Haynes noted that he expect the rookie to be cleared to play. However, coach Alvin Gentry implied earlier in the day Thursday that Williamson -- who will go through warmups before a decision is made -- could be limited in his first game action since March. Williamson missed all three of the Pelicans' scrimmages due to an undisclosed personal matter.

Takes part in shootaround Williamson (coach's decision) took part in the Pelicans' morning shootaround, but his status for Thursday's game against the Jazz has yet to be determined, Joe Vardon of The Athlet...
Impact A day earlier, coach Alvin Gentry labeled Williamson a game-time call for the Pelicans' first contest of the NBA season restart in Orlando, and there's no indication yet that the rookie's status has changed at this point. Since Williamson has missed most of the Pelicans' workouts and all of the team's scrimmages in Orlando after leaving the bubble for a little over a week, he likely remains well behind his teammates from a conditioning standpoint. Even if Williamson gains clearance to play Thursday, he'll likely be subjected to some sort of minutes restriction.
