Zion Williamson has been listed as probable by the New Orleans Pelicans ahead of the Dallas Mavericks game on Monday. Williamson has stayed relatively healthy this season, playing 32 games. That's three more than what he played last season, and the campaign is yet to reach the halfway mark.
Williamson has been plagued by injuries since the Pelicans drafted him first overall in 2019. He missed the entire 2021-22 season because of a foot issue. Another problem for the 23-year-old forward is his weight and conditioning, which has been a source of frustration for fans and the team.

Zion Williamson injury update
According to the New Orleans Pelicans' injury report, Zion Williamson is probable for Monday's contest with a right quad contusion. He missed the Pelicans' previous game, also against the Dallas Mavericks, but New Orleans survived an onslaught from Kyrie Irving to get a 118-108 win.
Apart from his current injury, Williamson has also suffered several minor injuries to his ankle (Dec. 12), illness (Dec. 20) and quad (Jan. 6). Most of the games he missed are due to rest, as the Pelicans regularly sit him in either the first or second game of a back-to-back.

What happened to Zion Williamson?
It's unclear when Zion Williamson suffered the injury, but the first quad issue popped up on Jan. 6 a day after the New Orleans Pelicans' 111-95 loss to the LA Clippers. He missed the next game against the Sacramento Kings but was available to play on Jan. 10.
The Duke product was then listed to have a quad issue after the Pelicans lost to the Denver Nuggets. He missed the next game on Friday, but it was due to rest, as it was the second half of a back-to-back.
When will Zion Williamson return?
With Zion Williamson listed as probable, he's more than likely playing and starting on Monday afternoon against the Dallas Mavericks. Williamson will need to get cleared by the team's medical staff before the game, though.
