NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Pelicans say Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain that will sideline him indefinitely. Williamson has averaged 22.7 points, eight rebounds and 5.3 assists this season but has missed four of New Orleans' 10 games. Since the Pelicans selected Williamson first overall out of Duke in the 2019 draft, the power forward has missed 210 out of a possible 400 regular-season games. New Orleans has lost four straight games and seven of eight. It plays next at home on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets.
