The last few months have been grim for New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson both on and off the court. The NBA experts and fans criticized him for his fitness and constant injury woes. At the same time an ex-adult actress threatened him to leak their alleged private moments. Even though the 23-year-old didn’t make any official statement addressing both issues, he recently opened up to his 5.4 million fans on Instagram with a daunting cryptic message. 

Williamson played his last NBA game on January 2 until succumbing to a right hamstring injury. The game analysts and the Pelicans fans expected the star to return to the hardwood before the postseason. But the star went out of shape and gained a lot of pounds. Amid the screams of disappointment and frustration, he also faced the baby mama fiasco.

Apart from sharing screen grabs from their claimed snapchat conversation, she also declared that she is pregnant with the NBA star.
