Zion Williamson flew back to Louisiana yesterday. He will not join the team on its upcoming road trip, a source said. He is working toward becoming fully weight-bearing on his right foot and is out indefinitely, as the team said earlier this week. – 12:35 PM

Pelicans started the season 1-12. They’re about to be 26-24 since then. All without Zion. They have found a coach in Willie Green. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 10:03 PM

Herb Jones almost recreated the Zion three pointer block in an actual NBA game. Instead he settles for just a really good block. And then gets the ally layup on the other end! – 9:34 PM

Scottie Barnes and Evan Mobley both have more win shares than any rookie had last year. In the bubble year, only Brandon Clarke had more (that was the Morant/Zion class). – 5:18 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: Pelicans’ Zion Williamson is returning to New Orleans after spending time in Portland for his foot rehab, sources tell me and @Will Guillory. Williamson is cleared to progress in basketball activities. Pelicans have won four straight games and are in playoff race. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / March 5, 2022
Charania also had an update on Williamson’s outlook for the rest of the 2021-22 season. He doesn’t anticipate the former No. 1 pick playing anytime soon. “I haven’t gotten any sense that Zion Williamson is gonna play this season, and that definitely is alarming,” Charania added. -via The Spun / March 1, 2022
