The concern regarding Zion Williamson‘s health has been a lingering issue for the New Orleans Pelicans. The two-time All-Star was touted to be the future face of the NBA at one point in time, creating great expectations after a dominant college career. However, his journey in the NBA has been riddled with injuries, which has significantly affected his market evaluation. Meanwhile, a recent injury update on Williamson has further frustrated an already restless fanbase.

Williamson has not played a game since 2nd January and his return is still a distant dream. Although initially, the timeline suggested for his return was three weeks, it has been months and there is yet to be a piece of good news. A recent update on his injury has prompted fans to hit rock bottom.

Update on Zion Williamson upsets fans

An update on Zion Williamson has further pushed down fans’ excitement of seeing him again. The update came from Brian Windhorst of ESPN. Windhorst said, “We know that people aren’t on the same page. We know Zion spent last summer away from the team. After he had this injury he was away from the team.”

“When his rehab this year had a setback, he went away from the team. He hasn’t been around the team in six weeks,” the NBA insider added.

Windhorst further added that Williamson is ‘not close’ to returning to the scene, “I think his setback was significant“. Going by the update, Williamson might not be close to returning anytime soon. This may cause even more problems for the Pelicans who are placed 10th on the Western Conference rankings. The team has only managed to win 3 of their last 10 games and is on a 2 game-losing streak.

Williamson’s career injuries

The Pelicans star has had his fair share of upsets due to injury throughout his career. A bruised knee forced him to stay away from the rest of his summer league debut. His NBA debut was pushed because of an injury he picked up during a preseason game. The 22-year-old missed the first 4 months of the regular season due to this injury.

The Pelicans would want nothing more than to get their star player back on the court. As distant as it seems at the moment, it still is one of the few hopes for the New Orleans team.

They will play the Dallas Mavericks in the next game.
