MIAMI -- New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson understands the microscope he's under when it comes to injuries.
It's why when he left Wednesday night's 120-103 preseason loss to the Miami Heat with left ankle soreness, he knew what to expect on social media before he even looked at his phone.
"Twitter already did its thing," Williamson joked. "They are the doctors apparently."
It was easy for Williamson to joke since he avoided a serious injury. Both Williamson and Pelicans coach Willie Green said they expect the 22-year-old to be day-to-day moving forward.
