Pelicans' Zion Williamson (hamstring) suffers setback
New Orleans Pelicans head coach David Griffin said Sunday that All-Star forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) reaggravated his injury and will miss additional weeks following the All-Star break.
Williamson hasn't been able to play since January 2nd, and has reportedly suffered a setback while attempting to recover from his painful hamstring strain. The star forward is now expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks after the All-Star break, meaning he may not return to the court until March. The team went on a 10-game losing streak at one point without Williamson, but has won 3 of their 4 most recent contests.
The 22-year-old has been playing top-notch basketball when healthy this season, averaging 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game in his 29 games.
