New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson will miss extended time with a right adductor injury, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Williamson, who already missed 11 games earlier this season, will be re-evaluated in three weeks, sources told Charania.
Williamson, 25, is averaging 22.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 10 games this season, his seventh with the Pelicans.
Since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 draft, Williamson has played in just 224 out of a possible 493 games (45%) for the Pelicans, according to ESPN Research.
The last-place Pelicans (3-18) enter Tuesday with the NBA’s worst record.
New Orleans has a -3.0 net efficiency this season when Williamson is on the court versus a -13.9 net efficiency when he is off the court, according to ESPN Research.
