Williamson (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Williamson has missed the last two games, and with New Orleans eliminated from postseason contention, it is easy to understand why he isn't suiting up for the final game of the 2025-26 campaign. Without Williamson in the lineup, Derik Queen will likely receive as many minutes as he can handle.

Williamson is out for Friday's game against Boston due to right knee injury management. It looks like the Pelicans are just about ready to shut down Williamson, though he'll have one more chance to appear during the regular season Sunday versus Minnesota. Derik Queen and Micah Peavy should see more playing time Friday for the depleted Pelicans.

Williamson will dress for Tuesday's game against Utah, though he's unlikely to play, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports. Williamson will be available versus the Jazz. However, he will likely only see action if necessary. With Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey also not expected to see the floor, and Trey Murphy (ankle), Yves Missi (hand) and Dejounte Murray (hand) ruled out, Derik Queen and DeAndre Jordan are the favorites to enter the starting lineup.

Williamson closed Friday's 117-113 loss to the Kings with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes. Williamson's usual lines are essential to a productive night for the Pelicans, but he was unable to optimize his involvement in the offense during the loss. After a four-game stretch with totals of 20-plus points, he's failed to hit that milestone in four consecutive games, largely due to a slight reduction in minutes. With New Orleans having nothing to play for, we'll likely see more games in which Williamson will log less than 30 minutes as the season draws to a close.

Williamson produced 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to the Rockets. Williamson missed just two shots from the floor and two of his eight attempts from the free-throw line, but he didn't do much in other categories. The former Duke standout saw his streak of games with at least 20 points end at four contests, but he remains a reliable go-to option on offense for a Pelicans team that's no longer in the running for a playoff berth. Williamson is averaging 20.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 14 games since the beginning of March.
