The Zion Williamson show is officially back. Even if it was just for a preseason viewing. The New Orleans Pelicans forward returned to the court Tuesday night, scoring 13 points in a 15-minute performance at the United Center in a 129-125 win over the Chicago Bulls. Earlier on Tuesday, Williamson told ESPN his mindset was to treat this like just another preseason game, but he admitted it was hard to ignore the messages blowing up his phone and appearing on social media about the year-plus he missed.

C$ trims weekly gain as U.S. inflation remains sticky
The Canadian dollar edged lower against its U.S. counterpart on Friday as U.S. inflation data suggested the Federal Reserve could turn more hawkish compared to the Bank of Canada and some other major peers, but the currency still notched a weekly gain. The loonie was trading 0.1% lower at 1.3665 to the U.S. dollar, or 73.18 U.S. cents, with the currency pulling back after it touched its strongest level since April 10 at 1.3633. "It is getting harder for the Fed not to sound hawkish given the inflation data surprises since January," strategists at TD Securities, including Jayati Bharadwaj, said in a note.

UPDATE 1-US Labor Department corrects productivity data from 2019 through 2023
The U.S. Labor Department on Friday corrected productivity data from 2019 through 2023 after a computation error in off-the-clock hours worked ratios biased downward the labor hours levels underlying the productivity and costs data published last month. Worker productivity increased at a 3.3% annualized rate in the fourth quarter, corrected from the previously reported 3.2% pace. Rising worker productivity is helping to contain labor costs for businesses, which ultimately could lead to lower inflation over time.
