Gets questionable tag
Williamson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Analyse
Williamson has a chance to end a six-game absence caused by a hamstring strain. With Sunday being the first leg of a back-to-back for the Pelicans, the star forward could suit up for one half of the set and sit out the other. If Williamson is upgraded to available for Sunday, his return would likely reduce the playing time of Saddiq Bey, Derik Queen and Micah Peavy.

Cleared for on-court work
The Pelicans announced Thursday that Williamson (hamstring) continues to progress well through his rehabilitation and has been cleared to resume on-court basketball activities with contact.
Analyse
Will Guillory of The Athletic provided a similar report Wednesday indicating that Williamson was cleared for contact, and he was able to participate in some 1-on-1 drills during the Pelicans' morning shootaround that day. According to the Pelicans' latest announcement, Williamson's "return-to-play progression will be updated appropriately," so fantasy managers can operate under the assumption that he's still being viewed as week-to-week as he works his way back from a Grade 1 hamstring strain and won't be returning to action Friday versus the Lakers.

Cleared for contact
Williamson (hamstring) has been cleared for contact and was able to get through some 1-on-1 work at Wednesday's shootaround, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Williamson remains without an official timetable for his return, but being cleared for contact and ramping up to individual work are big steps in his recovery. We'll know he's close once he's cleared for 5-on-5 drills, but until that happens, we can assume he's week-to-week.

Remaining out vs. Portland
Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analyse
Williamson will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a strained left hamstring. The 25-year-old big man can be considered doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Lakers until the Pelicans provide another update on his status. With Williamson sidelined, Saddiq Bey, Derik Queen and Karlo Matkovic are candidates for increased playing time.
