Zion Williamson's Conditioning and Career Under Scrutiny After Play-In Ouster.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Big Lead

Zion Williamson's decision to put on a mini dunk contest before the New Orleans Pelicans' play-in game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which they lost, was an odd decision, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. Williamson has been out since January 2 with a hamstring injury and had not been cleared to do anything meaningful in practice. Doing it when the maximum amount of cameras were recording is not a whimsical decision, and it could be reflective of tension bubbling beneath the surface.
