Zion Williamson Injury, Shams: “Out for another 2/3 weeks”
Every time it seems like he’s getting closer, Zion Williamson’s return ends up being delayed again
Zion Williamson‘s ordeal continues after the quad injury he suffered against the 76ers. Two weeks ago, it was reported that the Pelicans phenomenon would return within 20 days, but now we’re back here again, extending the recovery time.
According to Shams Charania, a well-known insider for The Athletic, it will take another 2-3 weeks to recover Zion, almost up to the play-in and playoffs.
The Pelicans were optimistic that he would return before the end of the regular season

The main issue at hand is NOLA’s access to the postseason, with a record of 35 wins and 37 losses, currently placing them 12th in the Western Conference, with a tough schedule ahead (Warriors, Nuggets, Clippers, Kings, Knicks, and Grizzlies in the last 10 games).
Realistically, without Williamson, the New Orleans franchise has very little chance of making it: a real shame given the enormous potential of coach Willie Green’s group.
