Without overexerting himself, he still managed to put up impressive stats: 22 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block in just 28 minutes. However, a late-game turnover was a missed opportunity that could have helped the Pelicans close the gap. But looking at the rest of his performance, it’s unlikely that fans in New Orleans will hold a grudge against him. There’s plenty of promise for the future, and the basketball world is keeping its fingers crossed that he can stay healthy moving forward. Last night marked just the 7th game of the season for Zion Williamson, who has been plagued by recurring injuries since entering the league. It’s a tough pill to swallow, especially considering the potential he flashes whenever he steps onto the court.
