New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hip, back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. Williamson has missed his last two games after getting banged up during his most recent appearance versus the Utah Jazz. The team is certainly looking to get him back, especially with Brandon Ingram (concussion protocols) out for at least a few more games. However, if Williamson can't go, Larry Nance Jr. and Naji Marshall should continue to see additional minutes.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hip, back) isn't expected to play against the Suns, the first of the team's three-game road trip. The 22-year-old took a hard fall late in Sunday's matchup against the Jazz, resulting in an injury to his right hip and lower back.

The 22-year-old appears to have avoided serious injury after a scary fall on Sunday. He suffered a bruised hip, which could end up costing him a game or two.

Unfortunately for the Pels, Brandon Ingram (head) was also ruled out due to concussion-like symptoms. As a result, there's a chance neither man will play on Tuesday against the Mavs, which may open the door for Trey Murphy III and Larry Nance Jr. to enter the starting lineup.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson looked fantastic on Wednesday night against the Nets. In his first game in over a year, the former Duke Blue Devil finished with 25 points on a sufficient 11-for-22 shooting from the field. He also added nine rebounds, four steals, and three assists. The 22-year-old played 30 minutes in this one, an encouraging workload after he sat out all last season with a fractured right foot. Williamson has plenty of talent and could emerge as a top-10 fantasy option at some point moving ahead. However, fantasy managers will remain apprehensive for the foreseeable future until he proves he can stay healthy.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) was limited during Sunday's practice. However, the superstar forward is determined to get on the court for the season opener on Wednesday.

Williamson has been battling an ankle issue, so he's not a lock to be in the lineup for the season-opener versus the Brooklyn Nets. If he's officially ruled out, Larry Nance Jr. will likely fill the void and could provide a few games worth of extra scoring and rebounding for fantasy managers.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The team is uncertain if Williamson will play in the preseason finale after he suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson recently signed a $231 million extension with the organization. However, Williamson could lose some of that money if he doesn't stay below a certain weight. In fact, the former No. 1 overall pick must have his combined weight and body fat not exceed 295. He is currently listed at 284 pounds, but is reportedly weighing more than 300 pounds in training camp. Williamson is coming off a foot injury that forced him to miss all of last season. The potential is certainly there, but the excessive weight is a concern. Now, the Pelicans will put some pressure on Williamson to stay in shape or he'll risk losing some money. It remains to be seen if this will be enough to motivate Williamson to get in better shape.

According to Shams Charania, the New Orleans Pelicans will be signing forward Zion Williamson to a five-year extension worth $231 million. Williamson has played in just 85 games since being drafted first overall by the franchise in 2019. He missed the entirety of the 2021-22 season after undergoing foot surgery in the offseason prior. The 21-year-old is one of the most talented young players in the league, but his extension is sure to draw criticism based on his prolonged injury history. The last time we saw him, during the 2020-21 season, he averaged 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 61.1% from the field.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is anticipated to sign his max contract offer in July.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson could be on the verge of extending his tenure with the team. Williamson recently stated he wants to remain in New Orleans, which could happen if he signs an expected five-year, $182 million max extension. Executive VP of basketball operation David Griffin believes a deal will get done, although reports have suggested the Pels may not make the contract fully guaranteed. Nevertheless, the former Blue Devil has proven to be an exceptional talent since arriving in the league in 2019, averaging 25.7 points, 7.0 boards, and 3.7 assists. However, injuries have been an issue, with Williamson playing only 85 games throughout his two seasons and recently missing the entire 2021-22 campaign due to a foot injury. His lack of conditioning can also be problematic, and after he shot just 29.4% from deep in 2020, category managers may continue to take a hit in that area as well.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) was recently cleared to work out without any restrictions. The 21-year-old missed all of last season while attempting to work his way back from a fractured metatarsal bone in his foot. However, despite the positive news regarding Williamson's potential return to the court, ownership is reportedly hesitant to offer him a long-term, fully guaranteed extension. While the 2019 No. 1 overall pick has proven to be a dominant force, his inability to remain healthy has been detrimental for the fantasy managers that drafted him over the last few years. But with career averages of 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists, selecting Williamson may be a risk some are comfortable taking ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Williamson has missed all of this season as he works his way back from a broken right foot, with setbacks stunting his progress. When healthy, Williamson is a bonafide Top 25 fantasy asset, but it appears that both he and the organization will look to get him up to speed for the 2022-23 year. Jaxson Hayes figures to continue seeing increased usage at the four without Williamson, while the trio of C.J. McCollum, Brandon Ingram (hamstring), and Jonas Valanciunas lead the offense on a nightly basis.

However, he likely won't be back in time to impact fantasy managers in seasonal leagues.
