The New Orleans Pelicans are off to a 4-13 start as the team deals with a litany of injuries. Among those injured players is Zion Williamson who missed the season-opener then played in six out of eight games and hasn't been in the lineup since November 6th.

DeMarcus Cousins criticizes the Pelicans' handling of Zion Williamson, pointing to weight concerns and ongoing injuries.

We know the position we are in right now,” said Zion Williamson, who his missed the last two weeks and change with a left hamstring strain. “It’s not a good one at the moment. We come in the gym every day in good spirits.

Pelicans All-Star forward Zion Williamson is nowhere near being ready to return to the hardwood for New Orleans.

This season, Williamson is dealing with a hamstring injury and isn’t showing any signs of making a return. For these concerns and Zion’s injury history, MacMahon believes letting the two-time All-Star go is best for New Orleans when he joined Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective.
