Zion Williamson Nears Pelicans Comeback After Injury Setback

As of November 17th, 2025, the New Orleans Pelicans have received a positive update on the status of their star player, Zion Williamson. Williamson's injury status has been upgraded to "questionable" for the team's upcoming matchup against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.

Williamson had been sidelined for the past six consecutive games due to a grade 1 left hamstring strain, which he suffered on November 4th. However, the 23-year-old has recently returned to full on-court work with contact, raising the possibility of his highly anticipated comeback against the Warriors.

The change in Williamson's status comes amidst a coaching shakeup for the Pelicans. The team has fired head coach Willie Green after a disappointing 2-10 start to the season and appointed assistant James Borrego as the interim head coach. Borrego was spotted chatting with Williamson after Saturday's practice, though he refused to provide a concrete timeline for the star's return.

Williamson, who is averaging 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 2.0 steals per game this season, has missed a total of seven games so far. Surprisingly, the Pelicans managed to win two of those games in his absence.
