New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green says forward Zion Williamson's (finger) X-rays and scans came back clean. Williamson sustained a left finger contusion in Wednesday's loss to the visiting Orlando Magic and is now considered day-to-day. The 23-year-old slashing superstar will likely be listed as questionable when New Orleans submits their official injury report later on Thursday for Friday's tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. If Williamson needs to miss that one, it would open up a spot in the Pels' starting lineup likely for disruptive defenders Naji Marshall or Dyson Daniels. Trey Murphy III has been the biggest fantasy beneficiary of his prior absences, however, averaging 18.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 4.0 three-pointers covering six games without Williamson this season.
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson injured the middle finger of his shooting hand in Wednesday's contest against Orlando. He was hurt in the final few minutes of the second quarter. Williamson was initially able to play through the injury but came out of the game with 7:24 left on the clock in the fourth frame. He logged only 29 minutes in total, posting 15 points, two rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block. The Pelicans return to action on Friday versus San Antonio, and Williamson could miss his 12th game of the season. Naji Marshall and Larry Nance Jr. will have extra fantasy value if that's the case.
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (foot) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers. He's been troubled by a left foot problem but will make a seventh consecutive appearance. This is a dream matchup against a pacy team, and Williamson should do plenty of damage. He has upped his averages to 24.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 6.7 assists this month.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. A left foot contusion jeopardizes Williamson's status on the second night of New Orleans' back-to-back, but it's worth noting the former No. 1 overall pick only played 29 minutes in Tuesday's rout of the New York Knicks. With Williamson and a bevy of Pelicans starters iffy, Naji Marshall and Larry Nance Jr. could be in for amplified roles against the Pacers, who carry the fifth-worst defensive efficiency rating (116.6) in basketball.
According to New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green, forward Zion Williamson (foot) will play on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old made another appearance on the injury report because of a nagging foot issue. However, he's good to go. Williamson won't have to deal with Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles), which will certainly brighten his fantasy outlook. CJ McCollum (ankle) is also out, meaning the former Blue Devil could get more scoring opportunities. That said, with the Pels playing another game on Wednesday night, Williamson could sit that one out, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly.
