“Right now, I think he’s healthy,” Anderson said. “He’s looking forward to doing whatever he can do to help instill that winning fabric, that winning culture that New Orleans wants right now. I think it’s burning him to the core for him to get back out there and help his team win basketball games.”

Williamson has yet to play this season after fracturing his foot this past Summer. There are four regular-season games remaining.

Asked if he expects Williamson to play this season, Anderson said yes.

He better hurry up then.
