Zion Williamson is undoubtedly a great player. But he has had great health concerns that have deterred him from perhaps being a force to be reckoned with in the league. His ankle soreness caused him to miss a chunk of his time on the court. Prior to that, he had many issues that have now become roadblocks for his career. His body, arguably his biggest asset, has become a liability.

His nagging issues with his health have plagued him and the New Orleans Pelicans for some time now. Williamson’s knee was a key reason why he couldn’t even make his NBA debut till January 2020. Even then, he missed the entirety of last season owing to a broken foot. Williamson went through surgery and wasn’t fit to play.

During their match with the Utah Jazz, the energy was palpable. Zion Williamson got the ball and went for a dunk. Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson blocked him forcefully, causing Williamson to fall awkwardly and hard onto the hardwood, landing on his tailbone.

Clarkson’s block was immediately swept up by the court’s concern for the Pelicans player. People rushed to help Williamson, who was writhing in pain.

He could stand on his own two feet, but he exited the game. He didn’t come back for overtime as well. This was fuel to the fire and churned out strong rumors about whether he would be able to play again this season. His teammate, Brandon Ingram also had to exit the game early from a head injury.

It was reported later that night that Zion Williamson was diagnosed with a posterior hip contusion.

Team management has to prioritize the health of the team. For Williamson, the diagnosis must have been frustrating and had come at the wrong time.
