The New Orleans Pelicans might finally be on the verge of getting their star rookie back on the court.
Zion Williamson is scheduled to return to practice on Wednesday and could make his NBA regular season debut in January, according to Stadium’s Shams Charania.
“Williamson is expected to return to his first practice shortly after the New Year on Wednesday and I’m told both sides are hopeful of a January season debut for Williamson,” Charania said. “The Pelicans have been cautious with Williamson this entire time ever since he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee in October and underwent surgery that sidelined him indefinitely.
