If Williamson has to quarantine for only four days, he would be available to play when the Pelicans open up seeding games on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. However, a source told ESPN that Williamson’s status for that game, even if he is cleared to play by the NBA, is up in the air. Williamson originally left the bubble on July 16 and returned eight days later — and a potential four-day waiting period stretches his time away from the team to nearly two weeks. The Pelicans will be cautious with his return.
