On April 16, Beijing time, according to the "Open Air Stand" media report, Zion Williamson has not returned this season, mainly because he and the team have some differences in injury recovery, resulting in some tension between the two sides.
American basketball reporter Andrew Lopez broke the news that the Pelicans believe zion's current health is good enough to return to play. But Zion himself and his team disagree, believing they need some rest to get better back on the pitch before they can return to the pitch.
As a result, the two sides have some differences of opinion, which is likely to lead to Zion's reimbursement this season.
In fact, as early as the previous rehabilitation process, Zion showed some distrust of the team, such as he left the team once during the regular season, hired a rehabilitation engineer to recover, and did not return to the team until the end of the regular season.
Zion underwent foot surgery on April 6 last year, but he has not returned to the stadium after a year, which makes the team a little anxious. Zion will enter the contract year next summer, and this summer the management may have to negotiate an early contract extension with him, so the delay in coming back, coupled with the huge weight, has caused some concerns in the coaching staff and management.
