Part 6/11:
Zion Williamson's injury woes continue to cast a shadow over the Pelicans’ season. After battling a foot issue that seemed minor initially, Zion soon faced hamstring troubles that sidelined him for at least 7-10 days. This recurrence is part of a troubling pattern of injuries—hamstring strains that have increasingly hampered his career.
The earlier hamstring injury in January of the 2022-2023 season was a devastating setback, and subsequent issues have only deepened concerns about his durability. With Zion’s star power and playing style heavily reliant on explosiveness and movement, these injuries threaten to derail his promising career and the Pelicans' hopes for a playoff push.
