Pelicans star Zion Williamson has been cleared to practice and participate in full team activities, New Orleans announced. The team also stated that Williamson played full court four-on-four Friday.
Zion has been recovering from surgery on a broken foot that he suffered over the summer. There is still no timetable for his return to games — but being cleared to participate in full is a good sign that he’ll be able to build up his stamina over the coming weeks.
The Pelicans have struggled mightily in his absence — they sit with a 4-16 record through 20 games, ahead of only the 2-16 Rockets in the West.
