Zion Williamson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. As expected, Williamson will miss the second leg of the back-to-back set after playing 32 minutes on Friday. The assumption is that Williamson will return after this game. In his absence, Trey Murphy III (knee) is expected to move into the starting five. Murphy should be a viable streaming option while Williamson is out.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The superstar forward did the game-winner during Friday's game. Sadly, Williamson continues dealing with a left foot issue that has forced him to miss three of the last six games. If Williamson sits, Naji Marshall and Trey Murphy III should be asked to help pick up the slack. Between the two, Murphy is the better streaming choice with additional playing time.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) has been marked as questionable on the team's injury report leading up to their Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs. Williamson was unable to play in their last game with the same left foot bone contusion and is now in danger of missing his second consecutive contest. The 23-year-old hasn't been forced to miss back-to-back games all season, which has been a refreshing trend after his injury-plagued start to his NBA career. If he's unable to suit up in this one, Trey Murphy III would likely move into the starting five again unless Herbert Jones (adductor) can play. Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) could also receive some extra minutes if he's cleared, otherwise there'd be some more Dyson Daniels and Naji Marshall minutes.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is now questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. After not appearing on the team's initial injury report, Williamson has popped up on an updated report with a left foot bone contusion. With Herbert Jones (groin) also questionable, the Pelicans could be very shorthanded in the frontcourt on Wednesday. The sharpshooting Trey Murphy III may be in line for a starting nod at power forward in New Orleans' first unit, and in four games without Williamson in 2023-24, Murphy is averaging a strong 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 three-pointers, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. Larry Nance Jr. and Naji Marshall could also soak up more playing time in this case.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (quad) will only need to miss one game for a quad contusion after he was listed as probable for the team's game on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed their last game against the Mavericks on Saturday and the Pelicans still put up a 10-point win. Now, Williamson returns along with Trey Murphy III (knee), CJ McCollum (ankle), and Brandon Ingram (Achilles). Williamson's averages are down across the board so far this season, but he's been showing flashes of returning to the level that everyone once expected. The biggest plus for him this year is that he's been healthier than in recent seasons.
