Zion Williamson's Status vs. Denver Nuggets Revealed

The Denver Nuggets are set to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night, and it should be an exciting battle between two Western Conference rivals. While the Nuggets are far above the Pelicans right now in both the standings and overall championship probability, New Orleans is still a team that expects to be in the playoff mix.

New Orleans and Denver have released their injury reports for this game, and Pelicans star Zion Williamson is not listed, meaning he is available to play in this game. Williamson is averaging 21.3 PPG through nine games so far this season, which is actually a career low for him. Williamson’s previous career low in PPG came his rookie season when he was averaging 22.5 PPG. That said, these numbers for Williamston are still very good, he is just not converting at as high of a field goal percentage as he typically has throughout his career.

For Williamson, the biggest thing has always been health, which fortunately has not been an issue for him yet this season. Having played in nine of the Pelicans' 11 games so far, the star forward will look to stay as available as possible between now and the end of the season.

This game should be a tough test for Williamson and the Pelicans, as they take on the defending champion Nuggets.
