Will Zion Williamson play? Pelicans update key status vs. Grizzlies

Williamson (illness) is set to play in Memphis for the Pelicans.

Zion Williamson is poised to fully recover and return to the New Orleans Pelicans' lineup.

New Orleans Pelicans / Schedule

In the team's initial injury report against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, Williamson is no longer listed. The big man has been dealing with illness and left prematurely in the Pelicans' 112-104 Wednesday loss against the Detroit Pistons.

However, in New Orleans' Thursday practice, Williamson was a no-show, as he is still under the weather.

Williamson is averaging 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists this season. He appeared in 30 games so far.

Sliding with a three-game losing skid, Williamson and the Pels will aim to snap it against the Grizzlies for the first part of their three-game road trip.
