Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Game-high 35 points in loss
Williamson finished with 35 points (15-26 FG, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 122-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.
It was another strong scoring performance out of Williamson, who has now scored at least 31 points in each of his last three outings while connecting on 62.3 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span. Since returning from a six-game absence due to a right adductor injury, Williamson is averaging 24.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals over 26.3 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores team-high 31 points
Williamson posted 31 points (12-19 FG, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 loss to the Bulls.
Losses continue to pile up for the Pelicans, but the blame doesn't lie with Williamson, who has played some of the best ball of his career since returning from a six-game absence. Injuries have plagued Williamson throughout his career, and it appeared he was headed down that path again back in November. However, he has since played in nine straight games without a break and is keeping the team competitive.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Drops 32 points in defeat
Williamson finished Monday's 130-125 loss to the Knicks with 32 points (11-16 FG, 10-12 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 29 minutes.
After coming off the bench in each of the Pelicans' previous six contests, Williamson returned to the starting lineup and racked up a game- and season-high 32 points. He has scored at least 20 points in six consecutive contests. The star forward also tallied multiple steals and multiple blocks for just the second time this season, both of which have come in New Orleans' last two games. Williamson still appears to be on a minutes restriction after missing six straight games from late November to early-to-mid-December due to a right adductor injury, though he has still logged at least 28 minutes in three straight games.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Starting Monday
Williamson will start against the Knicks on Monday.
After coming off the bench in seven straight outings following a six-game absence due to a right adductor injury, Williamson will rejoin the first unit. Over his last seven appearances, the 25-year-old forward has averaged 21.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.9 minutes per contest. The Pelicans may continue to monitor his playing time, though Williamson managed to log 29 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Suns.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Hits for 20 points off bench
Williamson notched 20 points (5-10 FG, 10-14 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to Phoenix.
Williamson has been deployed off the bench as he works his way back from injury, and he's thriving in the adjusted role. Although the Pelicans have another chance against the Suns on Saturday, Williamson will likely sit out the second leg of the back-to-back for injury management. Fantasy managers who depend on Williamson's production should monitor his status as tipoff approaches.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Another strong outing off bench
Williamson registered 26 points (9-15 FG, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 141-118 loss to Cleveland.
Williamson's 21 minutes were tied for his lowest playing time since returning from a six-game absence Dec. 14, but the seventh-year forward still managed to lead the Pelicans in scoring while coming off the bench. The 2019 No. 1 overall pick has averaged 21.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.4 minutes per game since returning from a right adductor strain. The Pelicans play against the Suns on back-to-back days, Friday and Saturday, so Williamson could sit for one of those contests for injury management purposes.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Available for Tuesday
Williamson is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
This is a pleasant surprise for Williamson's fantasy managers, as it's a rare sight to see him suit up for both legs of a back-to-back set. Herbert Jones (ankle) is sitting out Tuesday, so the Pelicans may not have had the luxury of resting Williamson, who played 25 minutes Monday. He'll likely have his minutes monitored again Tuesday and come off the bench for a fourth straight game.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Efficient in reserve role Monday
Williamson registered 24 points (10-14 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during the Pelicans' 119-113 win over the Mavericks on Monday.
Williamson scored 10 of his team-high 24 points in the fourth quarter and helped the Pelicans overcome an 11-point deficit to capture their fifth-straight victory. He has come off the bench in each of his last four outings since returning from a six-game absence due to an adductor strain, but since returning he has averaged 20.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 24.2 minutes per game while shooting 56.9 percent from the field. The Pelicans play the second leg of their back-to-back set Tuesday on the road against the Cavaliers, so it remains to be seen whether New Orleans will sit Williamson for injury management purposes.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 29 points in 23 minutes
Williamson totaled 29 points (9-14 FG, 11-13 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 victory over Indiana.
Despite coming off the bench for the third straight game and logging just three minutes in the final frame, Williamson delivered one of his best performances of the season, matching his season high in points. It'll be interesting to see how much longer his reserve role lasts, but he's clearly making the most of his minutes on the court.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Sticking in bench role
Williamson will be deployed off the bench Thursday against Houston.
Williamson will be utilized off the bench for a second straight game as the team eases him back into action following a return from a right adductor strain. Saddiq Bey will draw another start at power forward as a result, though his days with the first unit are likely to end soon.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 18 points in return
Williamson (adductor) posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 victory over the Bulls.
Returning from a six-game absence due to a right adductor strain, Williamson had his minutes monitored and ended up coming off the bench for the first time in his NBA career. Williamson looked good during his time on the court and seemingly escaped without any setbacks, so he'll likely be cleared for a larger workload and potentially a return to the starting five in the Pelicans' next game Thursday versus the Rockets.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Good to go Sunday
Williamson (thigh) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Bulls, but he will come off the bench.
Williamson, who has missed the past five games for New Orleans, comfortably beat his projected timetable. The Pelicans will likely monitor his minutes in his first game back, but no specifics have been reported.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Game-time call for Sunday
Williamson (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
Williamson appears to be well ahead of his initial timetable for a return, as he was able to make it through practice Saturday, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday. The team will presumably re-evaluate him Sunday morning before providing an update on his availability in Chicago.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Out for at least three weeks
Williamson (adductor) will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Tuesday.
Williamson is dealing with a right adductor injury, and he's now facing his second extended absence of the season. Given the return timeline, the star forward is likely to remain on the shelf until some time in late December at the earliest. The Pelicans are now positioned to depend heavily on Saddiq Bey in the frontcourt, and Derik Queen should continue to play meaningful minutes as well.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Iffy for Tuesday
Williamson has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves with right adductor soreness.
Williamson missed Sunday's game against the Lakers due to maintenance, so this is a new issue for the forward. The Pelicans tend to be cautious with Williamson, so there's a good chance he's held out. If he does sit out, the Pelicans could lean on guys such as Saddiq Bey and Micah Peavy.
