The performance of Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans in the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament was a clear disappointment, but both the player and team have played well since then. Williamson has also reportedly lost a considerable amount of weight since that time.

"I've got people in New Orleans telling me that since December when the In-Season Tournament happened, Zion Williamson has lost 25 or more pounds," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. "And his performance has been excellent. He’s playing fewer minutes and I think that helps as well, but I've got people telling me he's lost 25 pounds. And I don’t mean like in the past where they say, 'Oh, he's added muscle' and it’s like, ‘Has he?’ I've got people saying that he's truly, for the first time, I feel weird even saying it, counting on Zion has been a losing proposition..."

In 56 games this season, Williamson is averaging 22.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 30.9 minutes.

This kind of confirms what everyone already knew on some level. This professional athlete has terrible discipline when it comes to diet and exercise and has played his way into basketball shape over the course of the season. It is reasonable to question his work ethic and passion for the game.

Yeah he was about 350 lbs now he's in and around 320.

Not every1 can be bron. Its an unfair comparison to all the other SFs in the NBA. there is a reason why lebron is top 2 or top3 all-time

I'm going out on a limb here and say he is on Ozempic, since it is most likely the only thing that can possibly stop him from stuffing himself. It feels nice to be vindicated after all the ignorant takes on my two year old suggestion.
