The Pelicans jersey number 1 in his 2 years of NBA career has already turned heads and raised eyebrows. His impressive start to his career is noteworthy.

However, his promising display has been put on hold as he has not played all season. There has been a lot of concern about his foot injury and his physique. Although he appeared in the preseason and showed signs of a return, one health setback after another has made it impossible for him to get back on the court.

Zion Williamson is back!

Zion was away in Oregon for quite some while now. He was under a rehabilitation program there. Zion was working on his fitness and injury struggles to make his return for the Pelicans as quick as possible. Good news for the Pelicans fans, he is back in New Orleans and he looks “in good shape” just two months after photos of him at his biggest went viral.

Zion looks in good shape. He looks slimmer and fitter than before. The major cause of almost all of his injuries has been his weight. The fact that his body muscles are prone to injuries, especially his legs because of the weight his legs carry, is a major concern. This has been the case ever since he arrived in the NBA.

Zion accumulated 362 points in his first 15 games and was only the 4th player to do so. He is certainly an exciting player with a bright future ahead. Once he manages his weight and injury issues, Zion will be able to play his best basketball.
