Sept. 27 (UPI) -- New Orleans Pelicans star forward Zion Williamson sustained a broken right foot during the off-season but should be able to return in time for the start of the regular season.
Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin told reporters Monday that Williamson injured the foot before the NBA Summer League began. Shortly later, he underwent surgery to repair a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
