Zion Williamson is dealing with an ankle sprain and is questionable for the Wednesday night game against the Washington Wizards. Not only will Williamson miss the game versus the Wizards, but he will also fuel up the critics due to his weight gain.
NBA Pundits and experts doubt whether or not Williamson will be able to stay on the court due to increasing weight. This could not only hurt Zion Williamson’s image in the league but may also create pressure on him.
Zion Williamson Out vs. the Washington Wizards: Can He Overcome the Ongoing Weight Debate?
The New Orleans Pelicans are 10th in the Western Conference with a record of 13-11. Williamson has averaged around 22.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.1 steals while shooting around 58.4% of the shots from the field and 33.3% of the shots from the 3-point line.
Zion Williamson has not performed well in the season and may continue to do so because of his increasing weight, after he returns to the court.
Williamson has to make a strong comeback on the court and silence the critics to overcome the incoming pressure and prove that he is still one of the best players in the league.
