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 :x

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.

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.

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

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
