Zion Williamson out at least 3 weeks with hamstring strain

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain, the team announced Tuesday evening.

The team said Williamson will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Willamson was injured late in the third quarter Monday night in a loss to the 76ers in Philadelphia. After gathering a rebound off a miss from Joel Embiid, Williamson pushed the ball up court. As soon as he crossed the halfcourt line, he seemed to feel something in his right hamstring.

Williamson dribbled to the corner and handed the ball off to teammate Dyson Daniels while grabbing at his right leg.
