UNDATED (AP) — Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is expected to miss at least the first week of the regular season.
Williamson’s recovery from surgery to repair a right foot fracture is taking longer than anticipated, although Pelicans basketball operations chief David Griffin says nothing “has gone wrong.” He says it’s just taking longer for Williamson’s bones to heal than the team had hoped when they initially forecast his return for the regular season opener.
Griffin now says doctors want to re-evaluate imaging of Williamson’s foot in about two-and-a-half weeks.
