New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson sat out Monday night's 122-90 loss to the Boston Celtics because of a left foot bone contusion.
Williamson, 25, wasn't on the team's initial injury report but became a late addition with a designation of "questionable."
Coach Willie Green then updated Williamson's condition ahead of tipoff at Smoothie King Center.
Williamson averaged 27 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals over New Orleans' first two games, which were losses to the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs. Williamson racked up 27 points to go with 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in the Pelicans' overtime loss on Friday to the Spurs.
Williamson played 37 minutes in that contest.
In his sixth season, Williamson has played 61 games or more just twice in his career. Williamson played in 30 games this past season before New Orleans shut him down in March because of a bone contusion in his back.
