Zion Williamson Out for Pelicans Due to Conditioning
Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans is currently out as he works on returning to full competition conditioning. This news follows a series of hamstring injuries that have kept him off the court since early December. The team is focused on getting him back in shape before allowing him to play again.
What It Means
Williamson’s absence is significant for the Pelicans. He has been averaging 22.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game this season. His shooting percentage stands at 47.1%, with a three-point shooting percentage of 25%. These stats show his importance to the team’s performance.
With Williamson out, the Pelicans will rely more on players like Herbert Jones and Javonte Green to fill his position. Jones averages 10.8 points per game, while Green contributes 5.9 points per game. The team will need these players to step up during Williamson’s recovery period.
