The New Orleans Pelicans are facing a challenging situation as star forward Zion Williamson remains sidelined with a hamstring strain. According to ESPN, Williamson is not expected to return to the court anytime soon, with the team preparing for the possibility of him being out for another four-to-six weeks.
Williamson has been receiving treatment for his hamstring, which he initially injured during a Play-In game last postseason. His absence, along with multiple other injuries on the team, has made this season particularly difficult for the Pelicans. Players like Herbert Jones, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy III, and Jose Alvarado have also been dealing with injuries, further complicating matters for the struggling team.
With a current record of 4-13, the Pelicans are facing an uphill battle in the competitive Western Conference. If Williamson is indeed out for an extended period, the team’s prospects for the rest of the season may need to be reassessed. Tanking could become a consideration if the Pelicans continue to struggle with injuries and fail to make significant progress in the standings.
Looking ahead, the Pelicans have the potential to secure a high draft pick, as they hold both their own first-round selection and the Milwaukee Bucks’ first-round pick if it falls within a certain range. If key players remain sidelined through December, the team may need to shift its focus towards building for the future and potentially targeting top prospects like Cooper Flagg.
