Zion Williamson’s bodily preparedness confronted criticism on Thursday when the New Orleans Pelicans suffered a big defeat towards the Los Angeles Lakers within the In-Season Tournament semifinals. The stark distinction in pace and power between the 38-year-old LeBron James and Williamson grew to become a focus.
Repeatedly, the Pelicans have emphasised to Williamson the significance of enhancing his diet and total conditioning. According to numerous Pelicans sources, as reported by Christian Clark of The Times-Picayune, Williamson seems resistant to those solutions, with a consensus that he “doesn’t listen.”
Despite sustaining good well being and availability to play, Williamson is experiencing a career-low Player Efficiency Rating (PER) of 21.8 this season. Notably, he earned All-Star recognition in each 2021 and 2023.
