Zion Williamson Could Return From Hamstring Injury On Tuesday 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jan 7, 2025 2:10 am

Zion Williamson is on the verge of returning from his left hamstring strain after being out two months. Williamson returned to practice last week with the New Orleans Pelicans and has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.


Williamson has had persistent issues with his hamstring over the past few seasons. Williamson missed the final 45 games of 22-23 with the injury. Williamson also suffered a hamstring injury in the Pelicans' play-in game that forced him to miss their first round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.


Williamson last played on Nov. 6.

With 46 games remaining, I estimate NOP would need to go 34-12 to get the 10th seed. Only OKC and CLE are currently winning at that pace... so why bring him back at all? Trade bait?
