Zion Williamson News: Scores 18 points in return

Williamson (adductor) posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 victory over the Bulls.

Returning from a six-game absence due to a right adductor strain, Williamson had his minutes monitored and ended up coming off the bench for the first time in his NBA career. Williamson looked good during his time on the court and seemingly escaped without any setbacks, so he'll likely be cleared for a larger workload and potentially a return to the starting five in the Pelicans' next game Thursday versus the Rockets.
