NBA: Zion Williamson returns to Orlando bubble after attending urgent concern

New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson has returned to the NBA bubble in Orlando, the team announced.

The top overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft left the campus last week to attend an immediate concern, and had no time table for his return prior.

Now, Pelicans fans can breathe a sigh of relief. the team is still in the running for the playoffs, just 3.5 games outside of the 8th seed in the Western Conference.

The 9th-placed team in a conference can force a play-in round if they are within just 4 games behind of the 8th-placed squad.

The Pelicans are currently 10th behind the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies.

Williamson will just have to follow quarantine protocols and return to action soon.
