Zion Williamson is back.
The Pelicans announced that Williamson will return to the court on Tuesday for New Orleans’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Williamson has missed the last 27 games with a hamstring strain. Williamson has played in just six of the Pelicans’ 36 games this season.
Amid a rash of injuries to key players, the Pelicans are off to the worst start in the Western Conference with a 7-29 record. Brandon Ingram, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum and Herbert Jones are among the Pelicans players to miss significant time with injuries this season.
This is a breaking story that will be updated.
