The young star had a surgery to fix a broken foot in the summer, but the return date kept getting pushed back.
Despite the 21-year old forward’s absence, the Pelicans had been playing better of late, winning four of their last six games. However, the team fell to the Houston Rockets 118-108.
During the 2020-21 season, Williamson averaged 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
