The Pelicans will have to adjust to life without Zion Williamson again for the foreseeable future.

Williamson, their star forward, will be sidelined indefinitely – with no concrete timetable for when he might be re-evaluated – due to left hamstring strain, the team announced, after the Saturday’s imaging clarified the reality of the injury.

He had already missed four of the Pelicans’ first 10 games this season, including three of their last four before Monday’s game against the Nets.

Williamson did not play in New Orleans’ loss to the Magic on Friday due to a left hamstring strain, just two days after recording 29 points and eight rebounds in the Pelicans’ loss to Cleveland.

But he did not play in the two games before the Cavaliers’ loss due to a hamstring and quad injury, although head coach Willie Green told reporters at the time that he was not sure how this injury occurred.

“He showed up (Sunday) and said he felt a little something,” Green told reporters Monday. according to Sports Illustrated. “We wanted to make sure we took a look.”

Williams has suffered from injuries throughout his NBA career, appearing in only 60 games in just two of his six seasons and missing the entire 2021-22 campaign due to injury.

Last year, however, he logged 70 games in the regular season, but strained the same left hamstring during the Pelicans’ play-in game against the Lakers and missed the entire first few games of their series first round against the Thunder.

But after missing the first game of the season due to illness, Williamson showed his potential with two games with 30-plus points and a 29-point outing Wednesday.

The Pelicans, after falling in the first round of the playoffs last year, have struggled to replicate that success thus far, starting just 3-7 and already missing Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones and CJ McCollum of their alignment.

They’re already 14th in the Western Conference — with plenty of games left, though — ahead of the Jazz with just one win, and without Williamson, and with all their other injury concerns less than a quarter of the way through the season, The Trajectory of New Orleans could only get worse.
