The 22-year-old is now recovering from a right hamstring injury. Williamson hasn't played since Jan. 2, when he sustained the injury against the Philadelphia 76ers. In the best-case scenario, he will only play three games during the remainder of the regular season.
This season, Williamson appeared in 29 games, the second-highest number over his four-year NBA career since going No. 1 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft.
The Duke product missed the entire 2021-22 season due to a broken right foot. The athletic power forward also missed the first three months of the 2019-20 campaign because of a knee injury.
Williamson has played just 114 games (all starts) for the Pelicans, while his four-year estimated cash earnings reach $43,661,297 at the end of this season, per Spotrac.
This means Williamson's one game has cost Pelicans almost $383,000.
Last summer, Zion signed a five-year maximum rookie extension with the club. The deal is guaranteed to pay Williamson $193 million and could be worth as much as $231 million.
