As the NBA regular season begins its final week, Zion Williamson has not yet returned to action for the Pelicans. However, that might not be the case for much longer, according to the 21-year-old’s stepfather.
In an appearance on “The Jordy Culotta Show,” Lee Anderson said that he “expects” Williamson, his stepson, to play for New Orleans before the season is over.
“I expect him to play. If you were to ask Zion, I’m sure he would probably say the same thing,” Anderson said, per ESPN’s Andrew Lopez. “But with just a couple of games left, with the magnitude of what’s going on in New Orleans and the opportunity to qualify for the play-in game and possibly get into a seven-game series, that would be off the charts in the city of New Orleans. That would be a plus in New Orleans. That would be a plus for Zion with the way things are right now.”
