NBA Twitter Goes After Zion Williamson Despite Encouraging Update for Next Season

The NBA season is heading into the final stages of the season. The finals are literally around the corner with one team ready to take the title of champions home. However, other teams are going all in thinking about the next season. And when it comes to the New Orleans Pelicans, they received an encouraging update on their budding superstar, Zion Williamson. But NBA Twitter trolled him despite the progress.

Zion is one of the most explosive and athletic players to come up in the NBA. There has never been a specimen with his body and size who can do what Zion does on the hardwood. With one of the best verticals in the game’s history, Williamson has only started his journey to dominate in this league. However, after going through a roller coaster because of his foot injury, Zion missed the entire 2021-22 season. And after the long wait, it seems the time has finally come for Williamson to unleash.

The Pelican gave an update the fans were desperate to hear as Williamson was cleared to play progression. However, NBA Twitter did not reciprocate the same energy for the Pelicans.

They went after Zion for being too late in his recovery, as the season has already ended for the Pelicans. In addition, fans believe Zion will struggle to stay healthy.

Zion has received a lot of hate for his weight problems this season. However, even with all problems, fans are forgetting just what a beast the Pelicans star has been. Since his rookie season, Williamson made his dominance known in the NBA. But it was in his sophomore season that he would step things up. Making his All-Star debut that season, he would average 27 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. Playing 61 games that season, Zion proved he can maintain himself through the season. On the flip side, it will be crucial in the long term for Williamson to find the right weight that his body can support.

While no trade is in the works, if Zion is healthy, New Orleans could emerge as major underdogs. With a skilled scorer like Brandon Ingram and the veteran presence of CJ McCollum, the addition of Zion could change the entire dynamic. With all three players capable of putting up the numbers, the Pelicans could ascend to new heights with this trio. They even made the playoffs this season without Zion playing a single minute. With Zion being a consistent player, the Pelicans could form a ‘Big 3’ of their own. Do you think New Orleans will be a top seed next season? Let us know your views in the comments below.
