Pelicans' Zion Williamson Underwent Surgery on Knee Injury, Will Miss 6-8 Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson underwent surgery to repair a torn right meniscus Monday and will miss the next six to eight weeks.  

The Pelicans confirmed the procedure ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Toronto Raptors.

Williamson has dealt with his share of injuries since the Pelicans selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in June. He left his summer-league debut in July after nine minutes with a bruised left knee, but it wasn't considered a serious issue. 

Things got more serious prior to New Orleans' preseason finale on Oct. 18 against the New York Knicks. Williamson was ruled out of the contest with right knee soreness, and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the former Duke star would miss "a period of weeks" to open the regular season
