Zion Williamson is getting closer to returning to the New Orleans Pelicans. Williamson, who has missed more than two months because of a strained left hamstring, is listed as questionable for New Orleans' home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.

The Pelicans star has been sidelined due to a hamstring strain but the 24-year-old is almost ready to return to the court.

It is within the realm of possibility that New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson could return to the court this week, according to coach Willie Green. "There's a chance, yeah," Green told reporters at practice on Monday. "There's a chance that he could, so we'll see."

The New Orleans Pelicans have been waiting for Zion Williamson to return, and it sounds like he may be inching closer to playing.
