If Zion hasn’t even been cleared to start running yet, there’s no way he will (or should) be cleared to play opening night. – 6:44 PM

With Zion Williamson’s return seemingly so up in the air a week before the start of the 2021-22 season, are we sure he didn’t sustain a Jones fracture? – 6:02 PM

More on this storyline
Things only got worse on Monday when first-year coach Willie Green confirmed that his young star, Zion Williamson, hasn’t started running or participating in team activities as he continues rehab from a broken right foot suffered during the offseason. “He’ll have some scans in a day or so. We’ll know more after that,” Green said. “He’s still doing his cardio work. He’s still doing his conditioning. He can do a little on the floor. Hopefully, we can progress soon after that.” -via The Athletic / October 14, 2021
Andrew Lopez: Willie Green says there’s no update on Zion Williamson. Still waiting on results from scans. Meanwhile, Brandon Ingram was a full participant in practice today. -via Twitter @_Andrew_Lopez / October 13, 2021
The New Orleans Pelicans’ regular-season opener is a little more than a week away, and star forward Zion Williamson is still a limited participant in practice. Monday, prior to the Pelicans’ preseason finale against the Utah Jazz, coach Willie Green said Williamson will “get some scans in a day or so.” The results of those medical tests will determine if Williamson can become more involved in practice. -via New Orleans Times-Picayune / October 11, 2021
