Pelicans' Williamson Ruled Out Saturday with Hamstring Injury

Zion Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks. He will be held out of the second leg of the Pelicans' back-to-back set due to a lingering left hamstring injury, despite playing in the last two games. Over those two contests, Williamson averaged 18.0 points on 59.1 percent shooting, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.0 steals over 29.5 minutes. His next opportunity to play is Monday against the Bulls, with Yves Missi and Saddiq Bey candidates to start in his absence.
