NBA News: Zion Williamson is probably not right in front of a comeback

Zion Williamson is apparently not immediately before his comeback, use in the first playoff round - should the New Orleans Pelicans qualify for it - is allegedly unlikely. The Pels star makes progress.

Before the 113: 103 victory of the Pelicans in the first play-in-game against the Spurs, Williamson completed a workout on the Court, while he presented this 360 Dunk. But a comeback of the 21-year-old is apparently not before.

This reports Cassidy Hubbarth of espn. Accordingly, Williamson certainly will certainly not play in the last play-in-game against L.a. Clippers next Friday and there will be "no chance" that he would incur in a potential first playoff round. New Orleans must win the game against the clippers to secure the last playoff ticket in the west. Then the Pels would meet the Phoenix Suns in the first round.

However, the franchise has not yet officially declared the season of the No.1-pick from 2019, a small back door is still open. Zion's stepfather Lee Anderson had declared in the week ago that he is still out of a comeback of his protégem this season.

Williamson has not yet completed a lot in the current season after an OP in Offseason 2021 in the episode of a broken foot. Again and again he was thrown back from setbacks in the rehab. He is now taking part in controlled 5-counter-5 scrimmages.

According to Hubbarth, Pelicans will prioritize the long-term health of mega-talent compared to a short-term use in this postseeason. In summer, he could sign a premature contract extension in New Orleans, but Zion also had to fight in the past two seasons again and again with injuries. In hitherto 85 inserts, he had average 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists at 60.4 percent field worm rate.
