There are some news for New Orleans Pelicans fans heading into the 2022/23 NBA season . Zion Williamson was authorized to carry out basketball activities without restrictions, according to a report by journalist Andrew López of ESPN.

In this way, the 21-year-old star power forward would be on track to once again join the starting lineup of a New Orleans team that has just been eliminated by the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the 2022 playoffs.

Let’s remember that the 21-year-old suffered an injury to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, a situation that did not allow him to play this season.

The former Duke University star’s return to the scene would be a gratifying addition to a team that has recently been very competitive, owing to the efforts of Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum, and Jonas Valanciunas.

Zion Williamson’s numbers in the NBA

Zion Williamson is the main star of the Pelicans

In 85 games played in the NBA with the Pelicans uniform, Williamson averages per game: 25.7 points, 7 rebounds and 3.2 assists. As for the percentages, he registers 60.4% in field goals and 33.3% in three-point shots.

We are talking about one of the most dominant inside players in basketball today, so his presence is definitely capable of making a difference against any team in the NBA.

Counting on Zion’s return to action, the Pelicans will have one of the scariest starting fives in the entire Western Conference next season.

If the team does not suffer injuries to important players, this is how it should take the field on the first day of the regular round of the 2022/23 NBA season:

  • Herb Jones
  • CJ McCollum
  • Brandon Ingram
  • Zion Williamson
  • Jonas Valanciunas

We’re not predicting this team will make it to the 2023 Finals, but they definitely have the talent to take on any rival in the league, and it’s even no exaggeration to place them in the Top 5 of the Western Conference.
