When Zion Williamson went down, less than a minute into the Carolina game, we didn’t realize what had happened right away. Then we saw it on Twitter: he cut hard and his shoe exploded.
At first, we thought it was an ankle injury but later word filtered out that it was a knee. None of it looked good but knees are usually worse than feet, so we braced ourselves for bad news.
Fortunately, it’s been classified as a mild sprain and nothing worse, so that’s great news for Williamson. Assuming the initial diagnosis is correct he’ll make a full recovery.
