Zion Williamson has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury when the Pelicans will face the Houston Rockets at Smoothie King Center.

The Pelicans announced Tuesday that Williamson, out of action since Nov. 6 with a left hamstring strain, has "begun the return to play conditioning phase of his rehabilitation program and is expected to return to full practice next week." It was further noted that Williamson is "week-to-week" in his return.
