There is still no timetable for his return. The Pelicans (27-36) have won four straight games to move into the final play-in spot in the Western Conference playoff picture.
The No. 1 pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, Williamson has played just 85 games for the Pelicans. He missed the first three months of the 2019-20 season due to a knee injury, and a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot has kept him sidelined this entire season.
Williamson was an All-Star in 2020-21 when he averaged 27.0 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
For his career, he has averages of 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 31.7 minutes per game.
