On the run, Zion Williamson suddenly grimaced during the lost meeting Sunday by the Pelicans on the floor of the Sixers.
Affected in the hamstrings, the interior of New Orleans awaited the results of his MRI on Tuesday. The verdict fell at the end of the day, the former resident of Duke will have it for at least three weeks.
Once this deadline has been reached, the player will be reassessed by the medical staff and a more precise return date may be determined depending on the progress of his recovery. Zion Williamson will therefore miss at least ten games, and the Pelicans did not need that since they have already been without Brandon Ingram for several weeks.
From the perspective of the All-Star Game, this is obviously not ideal for the former number 1 in the Draft, especially since he remains a very fragile player as this new setback proves.
