Zion Williamson has played in just 13 games during the 2024–25 season after missing nearly two months of the campaign with an injury. The New Orleans Pelicans star has been burdened by injuries throughout his career in the NBA since being drafted in 2019, having played in just 197 of a possible 458 games and missing the entire 2021–22 season.
Williamson returned to the Pelicans' lineup on Jan. 7 and has since played in seven of the team's last 12 games. Notably, though unsurprisingly, Williamson has not been cleared to play in back-to-backs for New Orleans, though he indicated that is something that's out of his hands entirely.
