New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson has been cleared to resume on-court basketball activities with contact, the team said.
Williamson has missed the last five games after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain Nov. 4.
Williamson is averaging 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.0 steals this season.
The Pelicans are off to a 2-9 start and have lost three straight without Williamson and Jordan Poole, who has missed four straight games with a left quad strain.
Dejounte Murray is also out as he makes his way back from a torn Achilles suffered at the end of last January.
