Williamson is finally healthy and not under team suspension. But can he prove to the franchise that he is ready, once and for all?

Zion Williamson returned after serving a one-game suspension for violating team policies. Williamson scored 16 points but also recorded seven rebounds and five steals in his return. His activity on the defensive end allowed New Orleans easy transition buckets to keep them within striking distance much of the game.

Jayson Tatum scored 38 points with 11 rebounds and Kristaps Porzingis had 19 points and 11 boards as the Boston Celtics overcame the return of Zion Williamson to the New Orleans lineup and beat the Pelicans 120-119.

After making just one appearance since his return from injury, Zion Williamson has dominated headlines. No, not because his performance was *that* dominant, though he was in decent form despite having made a return from injury.
