Many league insiders believe Williamson’s injury history makes it difficult for him to reach his full potential outside New Orleans.
Teams are reportedly cautious about taking on his long-term risk, which has limited serious trade interest.
Williamson’s contract only includes guaranteed money through the end of this season, adding complexity to any potential deals.
This season, the star forward has appeared in 12 games, averaging 20.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 50.0% from the field.
Despite his individual production, the Pelicans are struggling as a team, sitting last in the Western Conference with a 6-22 record.
