“He’s gonna miss the next 4 months because of this” NBA Fans troll Zion Williamson after being ruled out for Pelicans preseason finale
Zion Williamson
Zion Williamson’s was listed as day-to-day by Pelicans head coach Willie Green after missing Friday’s practice session. Because the ankle injury isn’t serious, Williamson should be ready to go when the regular season begins next week against the Nets. Williamson, who missed all of last season due to foot issues, was injured against the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
The injury happened on a second-quarter play in which he retrieved a rebound, brought the ball downcourt, split three Heat players, and went to the rim. His left ankle just buckled as he planted, with no contact with another player. Williamson then delivered a straightforward message: “I want to use the right term, but at the moment, it didn’t feel too good,” Williamson said after the game against Miami. “It was one of those things that happened and I popped back up like, ‘Yeah, I’m straight.’ Played a few minutes after that, felt fine, then they sent me to the back just to double-check.”
Zion Williamson’s return to the NBA after a year’s absence due to injury
Zion Williamson, a 6-foot-6 big in his fourth season, has played in only 85 games. He missed all of last season with a fractured right foot after making his first All-Star team in 2020-21. But, with good cause, Williamson considers it progress that he no longer thinks about his foot or the surgery he had on it. In fact, he claimed that he had forgotten that he had broken it in the first place.
Indeed, there is renewed confidence in New Orleans, where the Pelicans proved to be a tough lot without Williamson last season. CJ McCollum was the cornerstone Pelicans acquisition in a large deal with the Portland Trail Blazers in February, which helped propel the organization ahead. The Pelicans won 13 of their last 23 regular-season games before defeating the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Clippers in the regular season to enter the playoffs.
