cool cool cool cool cool cool cool
This man makes AD, Kawhi, and KD look like iron men.
for the good of his career the Pelicans will have to load manage him forever and have a minutes restriction on him. He’s simply too explosive for his own good and has had way too many leg injuries for his age
This dude
We need to start a conversation
Damn R.I.P. pelicans that sucks
Mr. Glass Man
i knew it was too good to be true
WTF man
no fuckin way
Fuck man. Hope this doesn’t become the story of his career
I just wanna see dude ball
At this point hamstring injuries terrify me more than ACL tears.
Still wild to me how long it took Harden to rehab and recover
Might be one of the greatest what-if players ever
Pelicans might not need to swap picks with the Lakers after all.
Zion is one of the most exciting guys to watch in the league man, this sucks
Has a season went as downhill as quickly as this New Orleans team? They were flying before the turn of the year.
… we’re never going to see him healthy for a full season + playoffs, are we? That fucking sucks.
Man’s living the dream – full time pay for part time hours.
For real though, sucks he can’t get right. Hopefully more recovery time will help long term!
i wonder if the pelicans have been forcing him to eat toradol.
Pelicans taking the “remember they were first seed?” torch from the Bulls
Just sad, dude has been in the league 4 years and has barely played even a season’s worth of games.
Drafting him might end up more of a curse than a gift.
LMAO this guy made of as much glass as AD
“Let’s news dump this on Super Sunday.” – David Griffin
We’re really approaching the territory of “The idea of Zion is better than Zion.”
I’ve been such a big Zion fan forever. Rooting for him to find a way to stay healthy, but I worry he’s just too explosive for his size.
Pels fucked; league stacked
it’s just so sad
pelicans went from an injury prone star to another injury prone star tough
Pelicans franchise cornerstones
1. Chris Paul
2. anthony davis
3. Zion williamson
Cp3 is by far the most dependable player somehow. Took a pandemic and 4 month break for Davis to play healthy basketball
Do we have some problem in the medical department? Every fucking injure take ages to heal.
Im sorry, but this is starting to give Greg Oden vibes….
We’re really gonna have to face the Pelicans round 1
Zion and BI already the new Kawhi and PG
Two things are certain about the NBA: Zion’s getting hurt in regular season, and Chris Paul is getting hurt in the playoffs.
Zion “just a few more weeks” Williamson
he will probably miss the last Mavs Pels game this year that means Zion (12 times) and Luka Doncic (once) will combine to miss 13 of 15 Mavs-Pels matchups in their 1st 4 overlapping NBA seasons.
Wonder if Zion is going to be forced to change up his game or something. He can’t keep stacking up injuries like this.
Pels were my favorite team in the west just bc zion is so exciting and an awesome personality. Such a shame
The Pelicans went from Anthony Davis to Anthony Davis.
Does this pretty much sum up that Ja goes #1 in a re-draft?
At a certain point, people are going to have to come to terms with the fact that his weight is a contributing factor to this, despite everyone avoiding the topic because it upset him. If he’s going to play with such an explosive burst, then he needs to drop weight. He’s 22 years old and can’t even get away with it for more than a few months at a clip, so this isn’t exactly the type of things that’s going to get better with age.
I’m not dogging him either. I just don’t want to miss out on what should be a legendary career because everyone refuses to acknowledge the obvious.
How much more until he’s officially a bust?
Are we allowed to call Zion a bust yet?
Anyone who didn’t expect Zion to be this injury prone is crazy lol
