Weight gain reddit:
Zion Williamson was supposed to return to practice in December, but he began experiencing soreness in his right foot, per NOLA.com. “It is possible he will need a second surgery on his right foot, sources said, but nothing has been decided.”
I think it is interesting that the Pelicans have the ultimate contrast for their young stars. 1 ultra thin long boi and 1 ultra thicc boi. It really is hard to fathom how insane of an athlete Zion is.
All-star game:
After apparent silence between the two since CJ McCollum arrived in New Orleans, Zion Williamson has reached out to his new teammate.
McCollum was traded to the Pelicans earlier this month and played just five games with the team before the All-Star break. McCollum then revealed during the All-Star events on Saturday night that he had yet to speak with Williamson — who is still injured and has yet to play this season.
Williamson is still recovering after he sustained a foot injury over the summer that required surgery. He was supposed to be ready to go by the start of the season, but he’s faced multiple setbacks in his rehab that has kept him out. He also reportedly showed up to practice before the season at one point weighing more than 300 pounds.
Contract:
Though he’s no longer part of the Pelicans and now works as an analyst at ESPN, JJ Redick laid into his former teammate on “First Take” on Tuesday.
Redick, who played parts of two seasons alongside Williamson before he retired, said that Williamson just isn’t invested — and hasn’t been throughout his entire NBA career.
