Zion Williamson News: Hits for 20 points off bench

Williamson notched 20 points (5-10 FG, 10-14 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to Phoenix.

Williamson has been deployed off the bench as he works his way back from injury, and he's thriving in the adjusted role. Although the Pelicans have another chance against the Suns on Saturday, Williamson will likely sit out the second leg of the back-to-back for injury management. Fantasy managers who depend on Williamson's production should monitor his status as tipoff approaches.
