New Orleans Pelicans Star Zion Williamson Out with Hamstring Injury
Zion Williamson, averaging 22.8 points per game, will miss at least a week due to a grade 1 hamstring strain as the Pelicans continue a winless start to the season.
- Zion Williamson was diagnosed Tuesday, Nov. 4 with a grade 1 left hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in 7-10 days, the New Orleans Pelicans said.
- Coming off a missed game last week for a foot injury, Williamson’s new hamstring strain adds to a longer pattern of lower-body ailments that have hindered his career.
- Through five games, Williamson, 25, averages about 23 points, seven rebounds and four and a half assists as the Pelicans' primary scorer and playmaker.
- Missing Williamson would mean he skips four upcoming games against the Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, and Phoenix Suns, worsening New Orleans Pelicans' 0-6 start.
- Over the longer term, availability has been an issue: since 2021-22 Williamson has played only 134 of 334 games and has reached 61+ games just twice, raising concern that strains can persist given past injuries.
