New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is available to return to the lineup Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team announced. Monday, Pelicans coach Willie Green alluded to a possible return for the All-Star forward, saying "there's a chance," and now we have a game to circle.

The New Orleans Pelicans welcomed Zion Williamson back to the court Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite the star's return, Minnesota won its second game in as many nights, defeating the Pelicans 104-97.

The Pelicans (7-30) were hoping Williamson’s return could keep the momentum going from the past four days when the team won back-to-back games for just the second time this season.
