There are reports that Zion Williamson might be on the cusp of changing clubs at the National Basketball Association (NBA). A report from the Athletic states that the organisation is of the opinion that it is time for the club and Williamson to part ways. Zion was the number 1 pick for the club way back in 2019. Zion Williamson has athletic abilities par excellence. However, he has not participated in as many matches as the club would have liked. This has led the club to think of removing him.

There are a lot of player moments being anticipated on the transfer market during the off-season and recent reports on Williamson’s status have added more fuel to the fire. On the other side, some sources are of the opinion that it is not Williamson’s time to depart from the club yet. Some of the sources are hinging on Williamson to have a season where he could be declared MVP on his return from injury. Zion had shown what he was capable of on the basketball court.

Zion Williamson has not represented the Pelicans in 194 games at NBA

But when it came to injuries, things have not been easy for Williamson. There is also his tall figure that needs to be taken into account. There have been red flags with Zion when it comes to injuries and his overall health. Williamson has not played 194 games. This puts a quandary when it comes to evaluating him. His two all-star nods in his two relatively free seasons tell a story about his talent. If we look from another perspective, talent alone has never just proven to be enough in high-level octane sports like the NBA.

He did not turn up in 194 fixtures. When it comes to games played, it adds up to 114. This scar will always be associated with the Pelicans’ superstar. Fixing that ratio is of prime importance to this young gun’s NBA story. An NBA expert recently said that Zion should get treated by a doctor and get his house in order when it comes to his health.
