“A healthy Zion Williamson to this Brandon Ingram led line-up means NOLA wins the 2023 title”: NBA Twitter reacts as the Pels youngster has been cleared to play without restrictions

The New Orleans Pelicans release a foot injury update for Zion Williamson that will surely bring a smile to NOLA fans’ faces.

New Orleans Pelicans fans didn’t get to witness Zion Williamson take on the floor for the entire 2021-2022 campaign. The former Duke Blue Devil was expected to miss out merely the first 3-4 weeks of the season, however, he sat out for all the 82 games.

Nevertheless, recently, the team gave a crucial update on their forward’s foot injury. In a recent post on the organization’s social media, they mentioned:

Recent imaging of Williamson’s right fifth metatarsal showed continued improvement.

Williamson has been cleared in his return to play progression without any restrictions.
