Is Zion Williamson Playing Tonight vs Lakers? Pelicans Star’s Injury Update Remains Murky Ahead of Massive Fixture

Zion Williamson has been out for quite some time now, and the franchise hasn’t taken it in the best way. In the man’s time away from the court, the Pelicans have dropped from being one of the top 3 seeds in the West, all the way down to 10^th place. And while they are still in the play-in race, it is hardly as commanding direct entry into the playoffs, along with home-court advantage.

Simply put, the New Orleans Pelicans need Zion Williamson back, and they need him back now. However, has his current injury healed up yet? Or is the man set to miss even more time, twiddling his thumbs and waiting for his turn on the sidelines?

ESPN releases injury update on Zion Williamson

Zion Williamson hasn’t played in an NBA game since January 2^nd of this year. We are now in the middle of March. So, it’s fair to say the man hasn’t put his injury woes behind him just yet. And the latest installment of this problem seems to be his niggling hamstring injury.

The problem has restrained the man for about 2 months now. And as per ESPN, this is set to go on for longer, as he has been deemed to be out for at least 2 more weeks. So, as much as the Pelicans need the man back in the massive game against the rising Lakers, they won’t get him just yet.
