The only reason why New Orleans Pelicans are playing opening night is only because of Zion & his marketability.

I'm sure the NBA must be upset now.

Let's hope Zion's career doesn't get derailed by injuries. He is a special kind of talent.

I'm not saying his knee soreness is a concern and I wish him health for the entire season, but they can easily just say rest. It happens all the time in pre-season. Why use that as a fake excuse and say further tests will be occurring if he's completely healthy? Makes no sense.

Because teams get pressured to bring their stars and play them, even if it's limited. $$$$

The real question is when did he hurt it? People are both saying that Zion is playing lazy, and isn't jumping to get rebounds or block shots, and yet are claiming his weight/vertical makes his body fragile and prone to injury, despite that he went through a college season jumping for everything without problems at all.

The Pels last played on Sunday, and we heard about soreness on Wednesday, without any signs of him hurting himself in the game.

You do realise that you can get hurt at practice as well?

Kid really needs to lose the weight. Having ZBos body frame with Zach LaVine hops will never be a good combination

Those guys were trying to take his head off to prevent him from showing them up with poster dunks. Those kids don’t deserve to play him until they grow the **** up.

If I remember right, I believe they actually injured him during the game with their dirty play.

Lol wtf are you talking about

The franchise is clearly cursed, look at what happened the last 5 years

Pelicans being on national TV is a disaster now. I was really hoping people were wrong about the injuries even though it seemed inevitable.
