The New Orleans Pelicans have a stacked injury report ahead of their regular-season game against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. The silver lining is that superstar Zion Williamson is cleared to play and was not named in the team's injury report on the eve of the contest.

The former Duke phenom has suited up in the Pelicans' last two games after missing the Atlanta Hawks game on November 22. In the previous outing against the Memphis Grizzlies, Williamson scored 17 points on 15 shots, while also recording five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes.

Concerns grew about Trey Murphy III as the 6-foot-8 wing was listed as questionable due to right elbow soreness. Murphy III suited up in the previous game and played 38 big minutes, finishing with 12 points, four rebounds, six assists and two steals. He is in danger of missing his second game of the season, having played in 18 of the Pelicans' 19 games.
