Re: Zion Williamson Says He Feels Good Physically, Will Return When He 'Feels Like Zion Again'

[RealGM Wiretap]

Zion Williamson spoke with the media following a report that he is unlikely to play in the first round of the playoffs should the New Orleans Pelicans advance out of the Play-In.

Williamson said he feels good physically, but it's more about "when I feel like Zion again."

"When I go to make certain moves, there is that hesitation," said Williamson. "Sometimes there's not and sometimes there is. And I understand the magnitude of these games coming up and I don't want to be out there hesitating or doing something that may affect my team in a bad way."

Very suspicious. Sounds like an open-ending excuse to skip the playoffs

Dude has missed 60% of his games he is legit going the tractor Taylor route. I'd never sign him to a a big contract.

Longest ghost holdout in history

This sounds like it’s 100% mental. They should make him see a sports psychologist. “I hesitate when I make a move” isn’t a physical problem.

Feels like Zion again? He wants to go back up to 300+ pounds?

Will return when he needs to meet the minimum games play to to qualify for full contract payout

Zion and Ben Simmons...who else rounds out the starting 5?

[Uncle Mxy]

New Orleans Pelicans owner Gayle Benson says she feels good financially, will pay Zion when she "feels like money again".

[objectivefan]

Given Zion's injury history, why are you guys trying to rush him back?
Also, why are you blaming him for taking a max contract that the Pelicans offered? why not fault the Pelicans?


Whether they pay Zion or not pay Zion the Pelicans will still make money and the Pelicans will still make draft mistakes
