On December 17, Beijing time, pelicans officially announced that Zion's right foot had received injections to help the bone heal. Officials also revealed that Zion will undergo scans again in the next 4-6 weeks to re-evaluate the injury. His comeback will once again be postponed.
Earlier this week, Zion traveled to Los Angeles to meet with Fikel, a medical expert at the Southern California Orthopaedic Institute. Yesterday, Fikel and pelican team doctors injected Zion's right foot fracture. "I don't need to say anything for him (Zion), but I've already talked to him. This frustrates everyone. Pelicans coach Willie Green said in today's training interview.
"It's frustrating for him and his family too, and we're going to continue to move forward in adversity," Green continued, "and we need encouragement and hope." It's something he needs to face, something that our whole team needs to face. We need to get through it, albeit very hard. ”
The team said Zion would be confined to low-impact, low-weight training for a long time. He fractured his foot during off-season training and has been on a truce since surgery and has not yet played. In his absence, the Pelicans won 9-21 against the Thunder and won an impressive victory with Graham's over-the-top three-pointer.
Previously, the famous mouth Skip-Baylors had revealed that Zion liked to eat the whole pizza with high-sugar drinks, which was one of the reasons why his weight was out of control, Baylors revealed that Zion's current weight is about 280 pounds, but this figure has not been confirmed by other media.
