Zion Williamson Faces Extended Absence Due to Hamstring Injury

The New Orleans Pelicans star is not close to returning, adding to the team’s struggles with injuries and a disappointing start to the season.

Zion Williamson has been sidelined since November 6 with a left hamstring strain and is not close to resuming play, according to multiple reports.
The Pelicans initially estimated a 4-6 week recovery timeline, but Williamson’s absence may extend beyond that due to the recurring nature of his hamstring issues.
Williamson has played only six of New Orleans’ 16 games this season, continuing a career marked by significant injury-related absences.
The Pelicans are currently 4-12, with injuries to key players such as Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, and Herbert Jones further compounding their challenges.
Despite his limited availability, Williamson has been productive this season, averaging 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game in his six appearances.
