Last year, we had a team meeting. We brought up some things that I can do better. Right now it’s tough. I’m taking a little bit of a back seat right now.

Zion admitted in a press conference after the Pelican’s loss to the Mavericks on Sunday. 

New Orleans Pelicans currently are on 4-6 this season and have to deal with their fair share of injuries. With CJ McCollum out with another collapsed lung and Jose Alvarado dealing with a sprained ankle.

New Orleans tremendously started the season, winning four of its five games. In their most recent loss to the Dallas Mavericks, Zion contributed 18 points, 2 rebounds, and four assists. With the lack of chemistry between him and Brandon Ingram evident. If the New Orleans Pelicans are aspiring to be a top-four team, they can’t have their franchise player taking a back seat or trying to fit in.
