Overview
- Coach Willie Green said Williamson will miss Monday’s game against Boston due to a bone contusion in his left foot.
- Williamson was a late addition to the injury report as questionable before being ruled out ahead of tipoff.
- Through two games, the 25-year-old averaged 27.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals for the 0-2 Pelicans.
- Outlets noted the foot issue is a new contusion and framed it as potentially short term, which still raises concern given his injury history.
- With Williamson sidelined, Jordan Poole, Trey Murphy and rookies Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen could see larger roles, while Karlo Matkovic and Yves Missi were cleared to play.
