Williamson logged 23 points (10-14 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 133-123 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The 23 points led the Pelicans on the night. Williamson has scored at least 20 points in seven straight games around a minor ankle issue that limited him to 11 minutes in a Feb. 28 win over the Jazz, and during those seven contests, the 25-year-old forward is averaging 24.4 points, 5.0 boards, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals.

Williamson (ankle) will play Thursday against the Kings, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson was added to the injury report with a questionable tag as he continues to nurse an ankle sprain, but he'll again fight through the issue Thursday night. His ankle didn't slow him down Tuesday, as he finished with 24 points in 33 minutes against the Lakers.

Williamson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game in Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson played through the ankle issue in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, but with Thursday's game being the first of a back-to-back set against the 14-49 Kings, it wouldn't be shocking to see Williamson take the night off. If he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Saddiq Bey and Derik Queen.

EDGE Analysis
The Pelicans let their lead slip away despite a solid return from Williamson and excellent contributions from Trey Murphy and Saddiq Bey. Williamson logged 33 minutes and showed no signs of difficulty with his recent ankle injury.

Williamson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson sprained his right ankle in Saturday's win over Utah and didn't play in Sunday's loss to the Clippers, though he'll shed his questionable tag and return to action Tuesday. Over 10 February appearances, the star forward averaged 20.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 30.1 minutes per contest. His return will leave fewer minutes available for Derik Queen, Saddiq Bey and Karlo Matkovic.

Williamson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson is in danger of missing a second consecutive matchup while nursing a right ankle sprain. He'll presumably need to prove his health during shootaround and pregame warmups to gain clearance to play Tuesday evening.

Williamson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set after spraining his right ankle in Saturday's win over the Jazz. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Lakers. With the star forward sidelined, Derik Queen and Karlo Matkovic are candidates to see increased playing time.

Williamson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson left in the second quarter of Saturday's win over the Jazz due to a right ankle injury, but he may not need to miss time despite the Pelicans playing the second leg of a back-to-back set Sunday. Rookie first-rounder Derik Queen figures to be the top candidate to enter the Pelicans' starting lineup if Williamson is unable to play.

Williamson won't return to Saturday's game against the Jazz due to a right ankle injury. He'll finish with four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound across 11 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson checked out with 9:33 remaining in the second quarter, and the severity of the ankle injury is unclear. The star forward faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up in Sunday's game against the Clippers. If he's forced to miss additional time, Karlo Matkovic and Derik Queen would be candidates for increased minutes.

Williamson produced 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Williamson had his way against Utah's shorthanded frontcourt in the decisive win, and his total would have likely been higher if he had stayed in the game during the closing minutes. Although the team's playoff hopes are thwarted, they've racked up a three-game win streak thanks to strong performances from Williamson and Saddiq Bey.
