Williamson last played against the Cleveland Cavaliers. New Orleans lost 131-122 despite Williamson posting 29 points, tied for a game-high, as well as eight rebounds and four assists.
The Pelicans are 1-12 without Williamson so far and sit last in the Western Conference at 4-18 overall entering Wednesday's action.
