Zion Williamson is progressing in his recovery from a hamstring strain, with the New Orleans Pelicans announcing he has entered the 'return to play' phase. Although he is now considered 'week-to-week,' his full practice is expected to resume next week.

Williamson's injury has sidelined him since early November, and while the Pelicans initially anticipated a quicker recovery, it may take up to two months. The team has struggled significantly this season, holding a 5-25 record and dealing with multiple injuries to key players.
