Zion Williamson Questionable Against Wizards
5 months agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards due to a left ankle sprain. Williamson looked to be unbothered by the injury on Monday when he dominated the 17-5 Minnesota Timberwolves for a season-high 36 points on a ridiculous 13-for-17 clip from the field in 33 minutes. The oft-injured 23-year-old two-time All-Star has done a fine job of staying on the court in 2023-24, missing only four games to this point, but he resides outside of the top 100 in category fantasy leagues largely due to 2.7 turnovers, 0.1 threes, and 65.8% free-throw shooting on 7.3 attempts per game. CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram would absorb a significant boost in usage if Williamson is sidelined, while Trey Murphy III would potentially be in line to work his way into head coach Willie Green's starting five on Wednesday in this scenario.
