Reggie Miller: Pelicans Plan Zion Williamson Debut for Mid December

One of the things that is clearly missing early in this NBA season is Zion Williamson. He is so exciting to watch and has such a dynamic personality that he is a magnet for the spotlight. So when he is he coming back? Reggie Miller went on the Dan Patrick Show today, and said Pels GM David Griffin's plan as of a couple weeks ago was a mid-December return:

The Pelicans announced on October 21st that Williamson would be out for 6-8 weeks, so this answer from Miller squares pretty well with that timeline. Overall, that's great news.

The Pelicans host the Mavs this evening in a TNT game, so perhaps there can be some update on Williamson's status on the broadcast tonight.
