It is within the realm of possibility that New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson could return to the court this week, according to coach Willie Green. "There's a chance, yeah," Green told reporters at practice on Monday. "There's a chance that he could, so we'll see."

Zion Williamson has not played an NBA game since Nov. 6. His return date may finally be on the horizon. Missing Williamson, and others, from the lineup is one of the key reasons why the New Orleans Pelicans have been one of the worst teams in the NBA this season.

The New Orleans Pelicans have been waiting for Zion Williamson to return, and it sounds like he may be inching closer to playing.
