Will Zion Williamson Play Tonight? Injury Questions Loom for Pelicans
22 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Zion Williamson may sit out a back-to-back game due to workload management.
- He recently returned after an eight-game absence due to a hamstring injury.
- The Pelicans have struggled recently, losing five consecutive games.
The New Orleans Pelicans are set to host the Atlanta Hawks, marking the start of a three-game homestand. A key concern for the Pelicans is the availability of star player Zion Williamson. He recently returned to action on Wednesday after an eight-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and played again on Friday.
Williamson's participation in Saturday's game is uncertain due to it being a back-to-back situation. He has not played consecutive games since late 2024. Despite his injury history, his physical presence is crucial for the Pelicans, who have lost five straight games and are struggling at the bottom of the conference standings.
The Hawks, also experiencing a slump with two consecutive losses, will be without Trae Young. The game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Broadcast details are available on various streaming platforms for fans wanting to catch the action.
