Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Gets questionable tag
Williamson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Williamson has a chance to end a six-game absence caused by a hamstring strain. With Sunday being the first leg of a back-to-back for the Pelicans, the star forward could suit up for one half of the set and sit out the other. If Williamson is upgraded to available for Sunday, his return would likely reduce the playing time of Saddiq Bey, Derik Queen and Micah Peavy.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Cleared for on-court work
The Pelicans announced Thursday that Williamson (hamstring) continues to progress well through his rehabilitation and has been cleared to resume on-court basketball activities with contact.
Will Guillory of The Athletic provided a similar report Wednesday indicating that Williamson was cleared for contact, and he was able to participate in some 1-on-1 drills during the Pelicans' morning shootaround that day. According to the Pelicans' latest announcement, Williamson's "return-to-play progression will be updated appropriately," so fantasy managers can operate under the assumption that he's still being viewed as week-to-week as he works his way back from a Grade 1 hamstring strain and won't be returning to action Friday versus the Lakers.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Cleared for contact
Williamson (hamstring) has been cleared for contact and was able to get through some 1-on-1 work at Wednesday's shootaround, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Williamson remains without an official timetable for his return, but being cleared for contact and ramping up to individual work are big steps in his recovery. We'll know he's close once he's cleared for 5-on-5 drills, but until that happens, we can assume he's week-to-week.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Remaining out vs. Portland
Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Williamson will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a strained left hamstring. The 25-year-old big man can be considered doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Lakers until the Pelicans provide another update on his status. With Williamson sidelined, Saddiq Bey, Derik Queen and Karlo Matkovic are candidates for increased playing time.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Expected to miss at least one week
The Pelicans announced Tuesday that Williamson will miss at least one week due to a strained left hamstring.
The timeline likely puts Williamson out of action for at least New Orleans' next four games. Realistically, the star forward is in position to potentially be re-evaluated at some point prior to the Nov. 12 matchup against Portland. The Pelicans will likely turn to a combination of Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey to fill out Williamson's minutes for the next week or so.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Iffy for Tuesday
Williamson is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte with left hamstring soreness.
This is a new issue for Williamson after he previously battled a foot issue. Hamstring injuries are a major cause for concern, but the questionable tag suggests he's day-to-day. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the team could proceed with caution.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Just misses double-double Sunday
Williamson closed with 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-12 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 137-106 loss to the Thunder.
The 25-year-old forward hit for at least 20 points for the second straight game and the fourth time in five contests, and he came one board shy of his second double-double. Williamson also led the Pelicans in assists on the afternoon, dishing at least five for the third time this season. He's averaging 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and an impressive 2.0 steals in 31.4 minutes a contest to begin the campaign.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Slams home season-high 29
Williamson produced 29 points (9-17 FG, 11-13 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Friday's 126-124 loss to the Clippers.
After managing only 11 points Wednesday in his return from a one-game absence due to a minor bone bruise in his foot, Williamson looked more like his usual self Friday and set a new season high in scoring. The 25-year-old forward is averaging 23.5 points, 6.3 boards, 4.3 assists and 2.3 steals in 32.3 minutes through four games, and as per usual, it's his ability to stay on the court that will be key to his fantasy value.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Struggles in return
Williamson ended Wednesday's 122-88 loss to Denver with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.
Williamson played through a foot issue, returning to action after missing the previous game. While it was good to see him back on the floor, it was certainly not his best performance. Whether the injury played a part in his lack of production is anyone's guess. What is clear is how bad New Orleans has been to begin the season. The hope is that Williamson can get things back on track, both personally and as a team, when the squad travels to Los Angeles to face the Clippers on Friday.

Williamson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Williamson was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, but he was spotted getting some extra running on the side after the session. Williamson was unable to play Monday against the Celtics, but it sounds like he's going to be day-to-day going forward.

Williamson (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Questionable for Monday
Williamson (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against Boston, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Williamson is a fresh addition to the injury report with a left foot bone contusion. Given how cautious the team has been with Williamson in the past, there's a good chance he's held out Monday. Through the opening two games, Williamson has averaged 27.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals in 35.2 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Shines with 27 points
Williamson amassed 27 points (8-18 FG, 11-16 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime loss to the Spurs.
Williamson equaled his strong scoring total from the Pelicans' first game, while upping his rebounds and assists. Some of his misses can be attributed to blocks from Victor Wembanyama, but Williamson would not be denied, finishing with authority and generating 16 free throw attempts. Through two games, he also has eight steals, which leads the NBA. New Orleans has a weekend break before hosting Boston Monday night.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Strong start to campaign
Williamson finished with 27 points (10-21 FG, 7-12 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and five steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 loss to the Grizzlies.
Williamson, who looks rejuvenated after spending the offseason getting into top shape, was the clear No. 1 option on offense Wednesday with plenty of ball-handling responsibilities as well. He was flying around the court defensively too, finishing one steal shy of his career-high mark of six. If he can stay healthy, and that's a big if, Williamson could have a monster fantasy campaign, especially in punt builds for free throws or three-pointers.
