Sadly, Williamson’s NBA career has been marred by conditioning issues and injuries, making his current progress all the more impressive. Surprisingly, his contract extension included a weight stipulation that affects his salary guarantee as to fully guarantee his $39,446,090 salary in 2025-26, Zion Williamson must pass six “weigh-in” checkpoints.

As the season starts soon, fans as well as the New Orleans Pelicans franchise would need a player they have bet their future on to find a balance with his health and lead them to a playoff spot. They commence their season with a home game against the Chicago Bulls. 

Zion Williamson praises Dejounte Murray’s addition to Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans haven’t been the most successful team in the league, and adding to Williamson’s fitness troubles. This prompted the need to make a significant move to bolster their roster around him, as they traded for former All-Star Dejounte Murray. 

As a result, Williamson expressed his excitement about the addition. Murray, who averaged 22.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game last season, brings a two-way presence to the backcourt that can facilitate the team and complement Williamson’s athleticism. He called Murray a “real killa.”

Although the trade cost the Pelicans four rotation players and two first-round picks, Murray’s arrival not only adds star power to the team but brings a versatile pick-and-roll partner who can blend well with Williamson’s playing style and improves their ceiling for the upcoming season.
