New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is set to return to the court Tuesday evening against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coach Willie Green hinted at this development, suggesting a potential comeback for the All-Star forward, who has been sidelined since November 6 due to a strained left hamstring. Despite recent wins, the Pelicans are struggling at 7-29, sitting last in the Western Conference.

Williamson's return, alongside Jose Alvarado and Dejounte Murray, raises hopes for the team's performance, even as Brandon Ingram remains out with an ankle injury. His presence not only aims to boost the struggling Pelicans but also allows observations of potential trade dynamics as the February 6 deadline approaches.
