The Pelicans announced star forward Zion Williamson will rehab his foot injury away from the team on Tuesday. Williamson will be continuing his right foot rehabilitation in Portland, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. He will still be under the supervision of the team, per the release.
“Since we notified everyone on December 16 of his latest imaging, it was decided then by our medical team to dial his rehab back to only partial weight bearing activities,” David Griffin, Pelicans executive vice president, said in the release. “He continues along that path.”
The team announced the setback in December after an MRI revealed a regression in the bone healing of his fifth metatarsal.
