Zion Williamson's Status vs. Clippers Revealed

The New Orleans Pelicans do not have Zion Williamson on the injury report

The LA Clippers are hosting the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night in an In-Season Tournament matchup, and they will have to deal with star forward Zion Williamson. The Pelicans have released their injury report for this game, and Williamson is not listed, meaning he is available to play.

Availability has been a major issue for Williamson to start his NBA career, having played no more than 61 games in a season since debuting in 2019, totaling just 126 career games since then. That said, Williamson has missed just three games so far this season, and none of them were directly caused by an injury.

For Williamson, two of the three games he has missed this season were part of back-to-back sets, and the other was for personal reasons. Having been healthy to start the year, the Pelicans forward has been able to play 12 out of 15 games, averaging 32 minutes per contest.

At 22.4 points per game, Williamson is averaging a career low in scoring, but his 4.6 assists per game tie last year's mark which was a career high. More important than Williamson's numbers will always be New Orleans's record, which is 8-7 through 15 games.

One game ahead of the Clippers in the standings, the Pelicans will look to hold off an LA team that has won three-straight games.
