The Pelicans announce Zion Williamson will be rehabbing from his foot injury away from the team. Forward has yet to play this season after saying he expected to be back for the regular season opener. – 2:32 PM

Worth remembering that Zion Williamson averaged 27 ppg., on 60 percent shooting, and only missed 11 games last year. Goodness. – 1:17 PM

If Andrew Wiggins is going to be an NBA All-Star, this would be the year. Injuries to Leonard, George, A. Davis and Z. Williamson open up the door. – 12:55 PM

Greg Oden played in a total of 82 games over his first three NBA seasons.
Zion Williamson, now in his third NBA season, has played in a total of 85 games.
Let’s hope Zion can add some games to his resume sooner rather than later. – 2:28 PM

The Pelicans (13-24) are opening 2022 with as tough of a 4-game stretch a team can have.
Jan. 1 at Milwaukee (L, 136-113)
Monday vs. Utah (L, 115-104)
Tuesday vs. Phoenix
Thursday vs. Golden State.
#Bucks, #Jazz, #Suns #Warriors combined 109-39 record.
Still no Zion, too. – 10:26 AM
More on this storyline
Shams Charania on Zion Williamson: From everything I’ve been told, the Pelicans do want him to play this season. I think Zion Williamson in his heart of hearts does want to play this year. So you have two parties that clearly want him back on the floor. -via YouTube / December 23, 2021
We all know how much Zion has been struggling through this injury. What have you two been telling him throughout this process? Jaxson Hayes: It’s crazy, because everyone’s been trying to fry him. I know he’s trying to ignore all that stuff and do what he has to do. When we’re sitting at the game, people are yelling stuff at him. I just tell him, “Bro, they’re just mad because they’re not in your shoes.” That’s all you can tell him. We all know how much he wants to play. He’s doing all he can to get back right. But there’s nothing we can do until he’s healthy. We just have to be there to support him. -via The Athletic / December 18, 2021
Michael Scotto: Zion Williamson received an injection in his right foot. He will be limited to low impact, partial weight-bearing activities for an extended period and be re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks, Pelicans say. -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / December 16, 2021
