A few also wondered how his recovery was going. The Pelicans, as per certain fans, are keeping him out as the season is ending.

When did Williamson return to New Orleans?

According to reports, Williamson was back in New Orleans on March 5.

He was in Portland for around two months where he worked on his rehab, and is not yet cleared for on-court practices. However, he was seen doing some light shooting with his player development coaches.
