During a Friday appearance on the team’s flagship radio station, David Griffin was asked a question he’s probably getting multiple times each day: How is Zion Williamson and when can everyone expect the No. 1 overall draft pick to make his official NBA debut?
New Orleans’ VP of Basketball Operations noted that he’s encouraged by the progress that Williamson has been making, saying the 19-year-old is on schedule in his process to get back in uniform. He appeared in four preseason games, prior to being sidelined by knee surgery in mid-October. He was given a timetable of 6-8 weeks before he can return, but that ultimately could shift slightly.
