Following a consultation and further evaluation with Dr. Richard Ferkel of the Southern California Orthopedic Institute yesterday, New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson received a biologic injection into the fracture site to stimulate bone healing in his right foot.

Williamson will be limited to low impact, partial weight-bearing activities for an extended period.

Further updates will be given following further imaging which is anticipated to occur in 4-6 weeks.

Williamson has not played yet in the 2021-22 NBA season.
