New Orleans Pelicans’ star player Zion Williamson has faced numerous challenges since being drafted in 2019, with injuries and weight management issues affecting his career. The team, once hopeful that Williamson would become their centerpiece, is now reportedly considering trade options due to his questionable availability and ongoing concerns.
Since joining the league, Williamson has struggled to maintain consistent playing time due to various injuries. He missed the entire 2021-2022 season and was limited to just 29 games last year. Despite these setbacks, Williamson showed his great talent on the court, averaging an impressive 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists during his limited appearances.
In an open conversation with former NBA player Gilbert Arenas, Williamson admitted to the challenges of maintaining a healthy diet. He acknowledged that being a young player with significant wealth made it difficult to stick to dietary restrictions.
“Since this you, I will be real. There were times when I wasn’t, that sh*t’s hard man,” Williamson said. “I’m 20-22, have a lot of money, feel like all the money in the world, man. It is hard. I am at that point now because of certain things and the wisdom around me. I don’t wanna say older, but the people around me with wisdom put me on game to certain things and go from there.“
