Zion Williamson
Zion Williamson, the star player for the New Orleans Pelicans, has been in and out of the lineup for the team this season after recovering from a foot injury that kept him out the whole previous campaign. Williamson has experienced all the weight-related jokes as well as the criticism. Although Zion was prepared for Thanksgiving, he was not quite prepared to share his preferred Thanksgiving dish.
This season, the New Orleans Pelicans have been among the NBA’s most entertaining teams, in large part because of superstar Zion Williamson.
However, the improvement of one specific talent has been overlooked in Zion Williamson’s comeback after missing an entire season due to a foot ailment. Williamson has developed into a productive post-up threat and is putting up incredible numbers after a slow start.
Williamson spoke with Fox Sports reporter Jen Hale following his outstanding performance over the San Antonio Spurs. Despite the fact that the discussion was primarily about the game’s elements and the approaching holidays, Hale did ask Williamson about Thanksgiving. Williamson endured a lot of fat-shaming as recently as last season, and when he was asked about his favorite Thanksgiving meal, he gave the perfect answer.
Williamson made the proper decision when he said: “You’re trying to set me up. No matter what answer I give, social media going to clown me. So no comment.” Williamson has always come across as a very gentle young man, and he was able to take the situation lightly since he is aware that people will mock him on social media.
Zion Williamson’s injury concerns and the New Orleans Pelicans’ future
The All-Star forward Zion Williamson has missed a lot of time in his short tenure because of injuries. However, a significant factor in this prolonged absence is purportedly related to his problems with maintaining a healthy weight. Williamson underwent surgery to treat a right foot injury, missing the entire previous season.
Zion has always been a big man, but after he entered the NBA, this became even more apparent. While these problems delayed the rising star’s return from injury, they were also frequently criticized for their lack of discipline.
Williamson averaged 27 points per game while shooting 61.1% from the field in 61 games during his most recent active season, which was in 2021.
Safe to say, Zion is prepared to have a breakthrough season now that he has resolved his battles with himself on a physical and emotional level.
Although increasing his free throw and 3-point shooting percentages should be the next steps in his offensive growth, his reported height and weight of 6 feet 6 and 284 pounds allow him to continue hammering rival defenders with mind-blowing efficiency when he posts up.
The superstar pair of Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson is joined by a number of other excellent players, giving the Pelicans a strong lineup. After a strong start to the season, New Orleans has emerged as a dark horse. With Williamson back on the lineup, the Pelicans may be considered title contenders as the forward averages 22.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per contest on 56% field goal shooting.
In New Orleans, expectations are at an all-time high now that Zion is healthy and performing well for the Pelicans. The Pelicans can be counted on to make a deep playoff run in 2023 with the help of Ingram and Williamson. Maybe this is the year the Duke star finally fills in that one obvious gap in his list of accomplishments from his career.
