The Pelicans fell to the Hornets in blow out fashion on Saturday night, but Zion Williamson was happy to return to action.

This season, Zion is averaging 21.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, as he continues to be one of the NBA’s best paint scorers. The Pelicans hope that he can keep this up and stay healthy as he is an integral part of their future.

Zion Williamson's status for the clash between the New Orleans Pelicans and Charlotte Hornets in the National Basketball Association (NBA) will be a close call as it all comes down to how he feels before the game.
