Is Zion Williamson's injury curse destined to overshadow his promising NBA career?

Finally, when it felt like all the pieces had come together for Zion Williamson, he had a new injury setback… Despite the rigorous fitness program in the off-season; the hooper has sustained a mystery injury. Amid this situation, the 24-year-old star’s girlfriend, Ahkeema, with whom the New Orleans Pelicans star welcomed his baby girl into the world last year, flaunted her new luxury ride along with an unfazed message to her 50k followers on Instagram.

Williamson literally found his footing recently amidst a near collapse. He dealt with a controversial period in both his professional and personal life. Firstly, the star forward faced constant criticism about his fitness that kept him off the court with injuries, followed by an ugly scuffle with ex-adult film star Moriah Mills, who threatened to leak their alleged private moments. While it seemed like everything was falling apart for the hooper, Williamson pulled it back.

Zion Williamson sorted the controversy and his fitness issues, along with weight-loss training that helped him shed around 25 pounds. Amid this journey, the star and his girlfriend, Ahkeema, introduced their daughter to the world in late 2023. It’s been almost a year since the birth of their daughter. Now, the couple has made another addition to the family. This time, it’s a $247k luxury car!
