Williamson suffered the injury during Monday's 120-111 defeat against the Philadelphia 76ers.

He grabbed a defensive rebound with 37 seconds to go in the third quarter and dribbled the ball down the court. As he crossed the half-court line and went closer to the three-point line, Zion started limping before handing the ball to Dyson Daniels.

Williamson finished the game with 26 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds on 10-of-12 shooting before being sidelined with a right hamstring strain.

Zion averages 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists over 29 games this season.

The Pelicans are also missing Brandon Ingram, who has been out since November 25 with a left toe contusion. Ingram has missed the team's last 18 games, and it remains unclear when he will be able to play.
