The New Orleans Pelicans took a decisive shot ahead of the NBA's midseason trade deadline this season, exchanging a chip from the Portland Trail Blazers for experienced guard CJ McCollum.
With powerful stars such as Ingram, the Pelicans' record has been slow to make a breakthrough, and the key is that they do not have good veterans who can provide guidance. Now with McCollum, the Pelicans are still aiming for the playoffs this season. But if you want to make a difference in the NBA, a neat lineup is essential, and the Pelicans can't even do this.
Last season, Pelicans striker Zion was reimbursed for an injury season, underwent surgery and has been recovering. Regarding Zion's comeback, the Pelicans also can't give a clear time because they don't know what the situation is with this star. Zion had always believed in the rehabilitation he had found and was reluctant to hand over the treatment to the Pelicans.
Yesterday, there was less happy news from Zion: Zion reportedly needed to undergo another operation and his comeback was about to be postponed again.
Zion had previously appeared in the Pelicans' pregame warm-up, though he had been training individually. As you can see, Zion's weight gain is very obvious, and it can definitely be called overweight. This time there is surgery again, and it is hard to believe that this has nothing to do with being overweight.
There have been many players in NBA history who have suffered serious injuries due to being overweight, affecting their careers and even obscuring everyone. Zion has a very good talent and is very athletic, but not paying attention to his weight is bound to make him suffer too many injuries.
In his rookie season, Zion was seriously injured and recuperated for a long time. Now facing a long absence, his career is also in jeopardy.
