Some perspective on Anthony Edwards having missed a handful of games with a knee injury (and being back now)…
Edwards was drafted 478 days ago, and played 4275 minutes in that time.
Zion Williamson was drafted 994 days ago, and played 2694 minutes in that time. – 6:18 PM

Devonte’ Graham on having Zion around: “It’s good. It’s good for him. I know he missed being here. Just being around your family, your brothers. It was a warm welcome when he came back. Just want to see him healthy. That’s all.” – 12:27 PM

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has returned to the city after spending nearly two months in Portland rehabbing his injured foot away from the team, sources told ESPN on Saturday. Williamson, who fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the summer, is set to rejoin the team next week. Sources told ESPN that Williamson will not travel with the team initially, and with the Pelicans set for a quick two-game road trip to Denver and Memphis, Williamson will be back around the team when it returns to New Orleans. -via ESPN / March 7, 2022
