Adrian Wojnarowski on NBA Today: “I think the expectation is Zion Williamson will be out at least a month plus. This is not a mild strain [to his hamstring].”

    How many national games has Zion played since 2019? I think I’ve seen him in two.

    Of course he will be, dude heals slower than a 98 year old grandpa

    Pels are still a good team. If BI can come back soon they should still hold a top 5 seed. They gotta have him healthy for the playoffs 100% tough, wouldn’t rush him back.

    Think that was a given considering his re-eval was 3 weeks. The reality is he’s likely going to be a 50-60 game player his whole career given his extreme circumstances. Important thing is he’s healthy and ready come playoffs.

    Someone give him a bottle of Luka’s recovery beer.

    My sources are telling me hes only going to be out for 2-3 weeks so I’m not sure who gave woj this info.

  7. I like watching Zion play, but it’s a shame you always know it won’t last long before he’s out for an extended period. Hope he heals up fine.

    Gotta feel for the guy. Constantly rehabbing knowing that you’re a top 5 player if healthy had got to take its toll

    Hamstrings are a bitch man. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was out until after the All Star Break.

    On the bright side this is one of those injuries that doesn’t seem like it’s due to his play style or weight. Maybe just lack of hydration or warming up the body before a game

  11. This happened on that play he jumped to block Ja and the trainers didn’t look at it. 2 days later he suits up against PHI

    Is Woj wearing a t-shirt under a zip up sweater under a blazer?

    This seems like the usual timeline for these hamstring injuries’ delon wright just returned from one and missed about a month.

    Gotta put bubble wrap on this guy he is so fragile.

  15. Zion and BI can’t play at the same time because Zion eats all of his food

    As someone that has 1 torn hamstring and 1 very strained one (hopefully not truly torn but MRI comes next if PT doesn’t work), they **fucking suck**. Even the strained one doesn’t feel like it’ll ever heal. I’m doing physical therapy and it’s been months and it still doesn’t feel right. The minute I even start to jog, I feel it every time.

     

    For someone Zion’s size and with how athletic he has to be, that shit is tricky. Also very much depends on each person’s body and how it heals, not just their size. He can be doing everything right and just may not be able to come back as fast as other people can, even with the best trainers and doctors in the world.

    Fuck, that sucks. I’m seeing nugz at the Pelz game. Was gunna be a so crazy. Still gon be good, but that was probably my one and only chance to see zion hoop

  18. Relodwire

    Woj has never been very accurate with Pels news. I’ll believe it when local media starts talking about it

  19. Yinanization

    Hopefully BI and CJ will keep things afloat, the West is so damn tight…

  20. HotdogIsaSandwitch

    That’s a big bummer, but I get it. Better to err on the side of caution.
