Williamson was unable to finish the game in the Pelicans loss to the Orlando Magic, 117-108, because of the finger injury. During the second quarter, he hit his hand on the side of the backboard while trying to block Jalen Suggs' layup.
The Pelicans are currently 7th in the West with a 45-31 record, one game behind the Dallas Mavericks for the No. 5 spot.
Aside from Williamson, who is averaging 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.0 assists for the Pelicans this season, Brandon Ingram (left knee bone contusion) and Jose Alvarado (right oblique strain) are also sidelined with injuries.
