Shams Charania: “Zion has been out since across the first week of November—I believe November eighth, November ninth. He’s nonetheless out, and it’s a couple of month later. He’s not near coming again. He’s not going to be again this week; he’s not going to be again subsequent week. The excellent news for the Pelicans, from what I’m informed, is that he did begin to get on the basketball courtroom over the weekend. They have been in New York for a sport in opposition to the Knicks on Sunday, so he acquired on the courtroom for very, very mild exercise. That is going to be a gradual course of. It’s robust for Zion as a result of he got here into the season within the lightest form he’s been since his rookie 12 months. He got here in nice form, and to have him damage already with a hamstring problem—a power drawback for him over the previous couple of years—it’s unlucky.” -via YouTube / December 4, 2024
