Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a right adductor injury and will miss at least three weeks, which is the next time he’ll be reexamined, according to Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
A two-time All-Star, Williamson has been plagued by injuries throughout his time in the NBA after being selected No. 1 overall out of Duke in the 2019 draft. This season has been no exception, with Williamson missing eight games last month with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain prior to his latest ailment.
It’s unclear when Williamson’s adductor injury occurred, but he last suited up on Saturday, when New Orleans lost at Golden State. Through 10 games in 2025/26, the 25-year-old averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.9 minutes per contest.
