Zion to miss opening week of NBA season and probably more with knee injury; "not severe" though

[obarth]

No it doesnt. Lakers held out zo, Ingram, and D'Lo for minor shyt. It's just the approach teams are taking now.

The Lakers are also the Lakers. They're primetime regardless. Which one of the players you named missed significant time, to start their rookie seasons, over injury(non-severe, at that)?

Shaq was more athletic than Zion in his youth. Can't see Zion shaking Jordan.

No he wasn’t

This is nothing new for the Pelicans, they're use to it with AD

What does this even mean?

"No shortage of confidence on full recovery "

Is it meniscus, ACL, MCL, just a sprain? How many weeks?

Cant believe they didn't get him on a weight loss program right after the draft

Bu bu bu @NOSaintsFan02 told me I was uninformed and that they had renovated their medical staff to be less football oriented.

Almost a year ago:

nikkas tried to argue with me all last night trying to wish injury on the dude talking about all he does is bully ball...

I don’t like his weight either, I don’t like him falling as much, but this kid has been playing above the rim for years. On top of that, he has more finesse to his game than anything else. nikkas trying to predict injuries that have NEVER been there.

Class of 2018 five-star prospect Zion Williamson has spent most of the last two months resting a bruised knee that he suffered at the Adidas Gauntlet in April.

On Saturday morning, Williamson took the court for the first time since that tournament, sporting an athletic brace on the affected knee.

According to USA Today, the Spartanburg Day standout is expected to be out until January as he recovers from a foot injury. Williamson suffered the injury with 1:47 left against Hammond on Nov. 21 when he landed awkwardly.

After the game, SDS coach Lee Sartor said it didn’t appear to be serious but Williamson hasn’t played since and was in a walking boot for a while.
