Zion Williamson reveals the dark truth about his injury
Ever since the injury, Zion Williamson remained under rehabilitation. In an interview with GQ magazine, the former All-Star revealed a chilling truth about his time in recovery. He said, “It’s been a lot. I can sit here and explain it, but nobody will really be able to feel it the way I did.”
