New Orleans Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Friday that Zion Williamson, who has been out since Jan. 2 with a right hamstring strain, was not cleared to play 5-on-5 basketball, and that Williamson wasn't simply choosing not to play in Wednesday's win-or-go-home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
