Williamson has averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game this season. The problem is, Williamson has played in just 10 of the New Orleans Pelicans 22 games this season.

For his career, Williamson has appeared in just 45% of the Pelicans’ 493 games. This latest injury to Williamson may be the sign New Orleans should move on from the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 Draft.
