Zion Williamson is participating in on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated next week ahead of a potential return, according to Chris Haynes of TNT.

"As of right now, the plan is to be re-evaluated at some point in the middle of next week. And at that juncture, the Pelicans will only have about two games left on the schedule," said Haynes.

Haynes added that it is not a given that Williamson will be cleared at that time. 

Williamson has been out since early January with a hamstring strain.

"During the process of trying to return, he did suffer a setback which is prolonging his return," said Haynes.

Brandon Ingram and Jaylen Brown have been named the NBA's Players of the Week for Week 23.

Ingram averaged 31.3 points, 10.0 assists and 6.3 rebounds for the week as the New Orleans Pelicans went 3-0.

Brown averaged 31.7 points on 55.9 percent shooting and 8.3 rebounds as the Boston Celtics went 3-0.

CJ McCollum has been playing through a right thumb injury this season that will require offseason surgery.

"I knew the final outcome would probably be surgery, and I was notified that that’s what it’s going to have to be" wrote McCollum in his diary for Andscape. "It’s my shooting hand, so you’re always a little nervous. So, I just been checking in with a hand specialist out of New York and just making sure things are progressing and continue to get images every couple weeks to track the progress as to what type of surgery I may need, what’s the process going to look like and I’m comfortable with what I’ve been hearing so far, so I’ll be all right. But I’m not making any excuses. I’ve been in the league for a long time, and I pride myself on being the best leader I can be on and off the court. We don’t have the luxury of sitting certain games at this stage of the season based on standings. I would like to compete in the playoffs for my 10th straight season or at least give ourselves a chance and address what needs to be addressed after our fate has been determined.

Zion Williamson has been cleared to return to on-court activities, but he won't be evaluated again for two more weeks and is in jeopardy of missing the rest of the regular season.

The New Orleans Pelicans play their final regular season game on April 9th and the earliest he can be cleared based on the current timetable is April 5th.

Williamson has been out since January 2nd with a hamstring injury.

The New Orleans Pelicans were involved in trade discussions with the Utah Jazz on a deal for Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley, but those players were eventually traded to the Los Angeles Lakers instead. The Lakers and Pelicans are competing for a spot in the play-in and New Orleans also gets to swap picks if the one belonging to Los Angeles is more favorable.

As part of a three-team trade, the Jazz also traded Mike Conley to the Minnesota Timberwolves with D'Angelo Russell going to the Lakers. That element may have prevented the Pelicans from getting a deal done for Vanderbilt and Beasley. 

"The Pelicans were close to getting Beasley and Vanderbilt from Utah at the trade deadline," said Zach Lowe on his podcast. "Or close-ish. They had a pretty good offer on the table. It was a draft equity based offer with a pick that maybe was not as good as the Lakers' pick they ended up trading, but pretty close I think from what I've heard.

"But one of the issues was Conley and the Jazz' determination to get off Conley and could the Pelicans figure that somehow? And it became pretty complicated.

"That trade ends up helping the Lakers, helping the Wolves, and the Pelicans don't get involved in it and now they're falling apart."

The New Orleans Pelicans expect Zion Williamson to return before the end of the regular season, a source tells Sam Amick of The Athletic. 

The Pelicans announced this week that Williamson will be reexamined in two weeks. 

Williamson has been out since early January with a hamstring injury.
