Pelicans Star Dealing with Hamstring Issue

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson is reportedly dealing with a hamstring issue, according to ESPN. The issue was discovered after Williamson was having an MRI on Tuesday. The severity of the injury and a potential timeline for his return have not yet been announced.

Game-Day Injury

Williamson left Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with just three minutes remaining due to an apparent leg injury. Coach Willie Green described the injury after the game, saying that Williamson felt discomfort in his hamstring and decided to leave the court.

Previous Injuries

Williamson has a history of injuries throughout his career. In the 2021-22 season, he missed the majority of the year due to a foot injury. The Pelicans are hoping that this latest injury is not as serious and that Williamson will be able to return to the court soon.

Pelicans Outlook

The Pelicans are currently 22-14 this season and are fifth in the Western Conference. Williamson is an integral part of the team's success, averaging 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game this season. His absence would be a significant blow to the Pelicans' playoff hopes.
