Final Zion Williamson injury status ahead of Lakers showdown

Zion Williamson will rally the New Orleans Pelicans.

The star forward is set to return after a one-game absence due to an ankle injury and will lead the Pels on Tuesday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Williamson sustained a sprained ankle in last weekend's win against the Utah Jazz, prompting his inactivity in New Orleans' loss against the Los Angeles Clippers.

As a result, Williamson's 35-game active streak was snapped - the best stretch of his career.

Williamson has appeared in 45 games this far this season. He is averaging 21.5 points in 58.5 percent shooting with 5.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
