As you probably know, former Duke star Zion Williamson had to leave the Orlando bubble due to an unspecified family emergency.
He had been blowing people away since returning to action after his injury and has apparently whipped himself into superb condition during the long pandemic layoff so naturally fans, who got used to seeing him dominate the opposition, were looking forward to seeing Zion 2.0.
We’ll have to wait. New Orleans has a new identity though and the team has become very competitive. So who will fill in for 280 (at last report anyway) Williamson at power forward?
