Zion Williamson Drops ‘Realistic’ Playoffs Return Hint From Hamstring Injury but He Has ‘To Pass Tests’
Zion Williamson remains optimistic about his comeback after sustaining a hamstring injury during the play-in tournament. As the New Orleans Pelicans would likely include ZW to the squad once fit.
Zion Williamson has announced his potential return from his hamstring injury. The talented forward for the New Orleans Pelicans is determined to make a quick comeback after sustaining the injury during a recent game.
In his latest media interaction, the Pelicans big man hinted at a genuine hope of return and said, “That is absolutely realistic, but like I said, I have to pass tests.”
Despite the setback, Williamson expressed confidence in his ability to return to action sooner rather than later, emphasizing the need to pass the necessary tests to ensure his readiness.
His injury, which occurred during a standout performance against the Lakers where he achieved 40 points and 11 rebounds, has presented a temporary obstacle to his season. Throughout his career, Williamson has faced various injury challenges, limiting his availability for games.
However, during the 2023–24 season, he demonstrated a strong performance, averaging 22.9 points and 5.8 rebounds while playing a career-high 70 games.
As the Pelicans navigate through the playoffs without their key player, there is hope that Williamson could potentially return during the later stages of the postseason, provided his recovery progresses as anticipated.
