Pelicans star rookie Zion Williamson has returned to the NBA bubble, the team announced Friday evening.
Williamson is back at Disney World after leaving on July 16. The team announced last week that he left due to a family emergency.
“My family and I appreciate the love and respect that everyone showed us while we dealt with a private family matter," Williamson said in a statement Friday. "I‘m excited to rejoin my team in Orlando and look forward to getting back on the court with my teammates after quarantine.”
The team announced Friday that Williamson was tested daily for COVID-19 while away from the team and produced negative results on all of his tests.
