5 Days After Step Father?s Emotional Message, NBA Future May Turn to Misery for Zion Williamson

Zion Williamson got caught up in a difficult situation after he announced that he was going to be a father soon. Adult film star Moriah Mills went on the internet to accuse Williamson, leading the 22-year-old’s stepfather to step in and show some support. Now, with only a few days of calm after the whole drama, Williamson is heading towards an uncertain offseason with the New Orleans Pelicans. With the NBA Draft coming up, his future in NOLA has come into question.

The Pelicans had a tough ending to their hard-fought season. Having their star player Zion Williamson sitting out for most of the games did not help either. And after the whole drama surrounding Williamson?s personal life, it looks like the former Duke star?s days in New Orleans may be numbered.

The Pelicans front office looking to make big changes

The New Orleans Pelicans drafted Duke sensation Zion Williamson as the number one pick in the 2019 NBA draft. Williamson was a high-flying and promising prospect that the Pelicans front office believed could be the next face of the organization.

However, since entering the league, Williamson has been dealing with constant injuries. He only ended up playing 29 games for the Pelicans last season, leaving the team to find other options to succeed. However, the Pelicans got knocked out of the Play-In tournament by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
