New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has returned to the city after spending nearly two months in Portland rehabbing his injured foot away from the team, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
Williamson, who fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the summer, is set to rejoin the team next week. Sources told ESPN Williamson will not travel with the team initially and with the Pelicans set for a quick two-game road trip to Denver and Memphis, Williamson will be back around the team when they get back to New Orleans.
On Wednesday, the Pelicans announced Williamson's fractured right foot was showing signs of improved bone healing and that he was going to gradually progress to full weight-bearing exercises and basketball activities.
